In Six Years Lucy R. Lippard documents the chaotic network of ideas that has been labeled conceptual art. The book is arranged as an annotated chronology into which is woven a rich collection of original documents―including texts by and taped discussions among and with the artists involved and by Lippard, who has also provided a new preface for this edition. The result is a book with the character of a lively contemporary forum that offers an invaluable record of the thinking of the artists―a historical survey and essential reference book for the period.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"A marvelous book. . . . Nothing short of a reading of the whole can provide even a faint suggestion of its liveliness or the range of ideas it covers." ― ARTnews

From the Inside Flap

"Many artists, curators, and cultural critics will be interested in the republication of this anthology since the movement it gives contour to has had a tremendous influence on the contemporary art of the last 25 years, and on the critical discussion surrounding the concept of postmodernism."--Alexander Alberro, coauthor of Tracing Cultures

"It's a sweet book, full of good humor and packed with information. A uniquely valuable reference account, it is used widely in teaching."--David Carrier, author of High Art: Baudelaire and the Origins of Modernist Painting

    Lucy Lippard is an iconic celebrity whose insight into Contemporary Art is invaluable. This book documents first hand the early period of Conceptual Art as she herself lived it.

  • David F. Place
    5.0 out of 5 stars An important contibution to modernist aesthetics.
    Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 1999
    I first read this book about twenty years ago. I am glad to see that there is a new edition. It had a major impact on my development as an artist. The author discusses the trend called "conceptual art" which flowered in the time period mentioned in the title (late 60's through early 70's). These artists rejected the craft of art and the creation of objects themselves seeking instead something more fundamental. Ms. Lippard calls this "resonance" and uses descriptions of various pieces to explore this concept. Though "conceptual art" has long since passed by, the analysis in this book is still current and applies more than ever in our "post-modernist" period.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Ouvrage historique et document essentiel
    Reviewed in France on October 9, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    L'ouvrage que Lucy Lippard publie en 1972 est essentiel pour deux raisons : il éclaire la densité et l'incroyable créativité de la fin des années 1960, en Amérique, mais aussi en Europe, et l'ouvrage lui-même est une oeuvre d'art conceptuel. L'importance essentielle de l'écrit au sein de l'art conceptuel est ici réifié. Le Brooklyn Museum vient de concacrer une exposition à ce livre : "Materializing six Years".
