Should certain truths Be hidden from the Citizenry. . . War Correspondent, Danny Frain, has just lost his long time cameraman, and he blames himself for the death. The story they were working on has touched a sensitive nerve in Washington, where powerful men are plotting to undermine the current President's administration.

This timely and original study transforms our understanding of the relationship between art and economics Bearing witness to the changing economic landscape amid the Cold War, artists in the 1960s created works that critiqued, reshaped, and sometimes reinforced the spirit of capitalism. At a time when currency and finance were becoming ever more abstracted-and the art market increasingly an arena for speculation-artists on both sides of the Atlantic turned to economic themes, often grounded in a human context. The Artist as Economist examines artists who approached these issues in critical, imaginative, and humorous ways: Andy Warhol and Larry Rivers incorporated the iconography of printed currency into their paintings, while Ray Johnson sought to disrupt and reinvent circuits of commerce with his mail art collages. Yves Klein and Edward Kienholz critiqued conceptions of artistic and monetary value, as Lee Lozano and Dennis Oppenheim engaged directly with the New York Stock Exchange. Such examples, which author Sophie Cras insightfully situates within their historic economic context, reveal capitalism's visual dimension. As art and economics grow more entangled, this volume offers a timely consideration of art's capacity to reflect on and reimagine economic systems.

This fully illustrated catalogue is the first comprehensive monograph on Alexis Smith in 30 years and presents the full range of the artist's dynamic output, from her intimate artist books and collages to large wall paintings and installations. Providing new insights into Smith's work, this volume connects the themes that have persisted throughout the artist's career, from her exploration of identity and self-invention to her preoccupation with stereotypes and cliches in film and literature. This publication will introduce Smith's expansive body of work to a new generation of viewers. Situated alongside movements of conceptual and pop art and shaped by the feminist movements of the 1970s, Smith's singular career expands our understanding of American art and provokes us to think critically on the culture we share.

""Pop L.A." maps the relation between a new urban and cultural space and the artists who confronted it and gave it form. Los Angeles in the 1960s in Cecile Whiting's smart and incisive study was home not only to a zany, outre popular culture but also to a Pop Art as expansive, crisscrossed, and de-centered as the city's entangled freeways and urban sprawl. Ruscha's photographs of gas stations and parking lots, Hockney's paintings of swimming pools and tract homes, Rodia's Watts Towers, and more--after this book, none will look the same."--Anthony W. Lee, Mount Holyoke College, author of "Picturing Chinatown"
"Sun, surf, sand, sex, strip malls, subdivisions: all are present in Cecile Whiting's trenchant anatomy of "Pop Los Angeles," And all were central to the vision artists constructed of this protean city as a site of both pleasure and emptiness, speed and stasis. Some artists, however, went further, not merely representing the city, but intervening in it, and for Whiting, the results--whether a performance by Kaprow or a tower by Rodia--further demonstrate the wild diversity of a multicentric city that somehow seems both more and less than a circumscribable place."--Anne Wagner, author of "Mother Stone: The Vitality of Modern British Sculpture"
"In "Pop L.A.: Art and the City in the 1960s," Cecile Whiting proves herself an expert guide to the cultural and artistic landscape of Los Angeles. From hot rods to parking lot Happenings, from the Watts Towers to Womanhouse, the book thrillingly remaps the multiple intersections of Pop art and Southern California in the 1960s and early 70s. Beautifully researched and written, Pop L.A. is a major work of modern art-historicalscholarship. It is also one hell of a ride."--Richard Meyer, author of "Outlaw Representation: Censorship and Homosexuality in Twentieth-Century American Art"
"From the Ferus Gallery to the Woman's Building, Cecile Whiting has fashioned an indispensable book. Thanks to her brilliant remapping, the landscape of art in Los Angeles will never look the same."--Kenneth E. Silver, author of "Making Paradise: Art, Modernity, and the Myth of the French Riviera"
