Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
The pages of Flash Art magazine are distinguished by a cacophony of voices and congenial chaos. Founded in Rome in 1967 as a tabloid-style art newspaper, it evolved into a forum for artists representing diverse trends: minimalism, New Image, neo-geo, Arte Povera, graffiti, Fluxus, performance, deconstruction--to name a few. This retrospective collage of essays, interviews, reviews and hundreds of illustrations, captures the freewheeling, wildly eclectic feel of the magazine. Well-known figures on the current art scene are showcased, among them Sherrie Levine, Susan Rothenberg, Enzo Cucchi, Jeff Koons, Sol LeWitt, Francesco Clemente, Julian Schnabel, Andy Warhol. At its frequent best, this serendipitous survey is a source of high energy and visual inspiration.

From Library Journal
For 21 years Flash Art has been one of the more important, and among the most controversial, art magazines. It has attempted to capture the new and radical, including the sometimes ineffable genres of Art Povera, Process Art, Conceptual Art, Post-Conceptual Art, Neo-Conceptual Art, and the Trans-avant-garde. Traditional views of art are deliberately shattered by works like Vito Acconci's "Runoff," done in "Body, sweat, and blu tempura," or his performance piece consisting of rubbing cockroaches onto his stomach. The viewpoint is primarily European, with forays into other cultures. This anthology of the magazine's best pieces suffers from a cluttered layout and very small print. For comprehensive collections.
