Author: Aiken, Stephen
This books presents Stephen Aiken’s recently unearthed and previously unpublished photographs of Joseph Beuys’ infamous 1974 piece of performance art 'I Like America and America Likes Me'. The premise – a man and a wild coyote locked together inside a room – helped build a cult following for Beuys that has made him alternately revered and reviled throughout the contemporary art world: Aiken's striking images offer a fresh look at this seminal art happening. The images of the performance are supplemented with a set of previously unseen colour photos taken by Aiken of Beuys at Greenwich Village’s New School in January 1974: verbally sparring onstage with fellow artist Hannah Wilke and jousting with a raucous audience that threatened to turn his lecture into a brawl.
ISBN 9781953995049. Letter16 Press. hb. 88 pages. 11 colour, 38 b/w ills. 26 x 28.6 cm.
