Manifesto!, 1978

 Item — Box 331: [Barcode: 31858072490976]
Identifier: CC-23101-23538
Scope and Contents NYT Exhibition Review: Whatever the aesthetic merit of Gene Beery's Pop-Conceptual paintings, on view in this delightful miniretrospective, they are certainly funny. Since the early 60's, Mr. Beery has been making word paintings that look and read like signs you see in shop windows. What the words offer, however, are not commodities but mischievous, self-referential messages, like John Baldessari's but goofier. ''Invent your own art kit!'' blares the exuberant text of a 1968 spoof of Conceptualism called ''Be an Artist Tomorrow.'' ''No brains, technique, skill, imagination, etc. needed. Clever system makes everyone an old master in seconds.''In ''Essences Only,'' made this year, Mr. Beery used a thin brush to write in black with apparently casual haste on a white canvas, ''My life is now too short to spend much time on formal painting art concerns.

Outside of a Dog: Paperbacks and Other Books by Artists, Second Enlarged Edition, 2004

 Item
Identifier: CC-42389-44399
Scope and Contents Clive Phillpot asked 23 collectors of artist books in addition to himself to select mass produced, inexpensive artists' books from 1950 onward to the present for this exhibition. He also asked each to write an essay explaining his choices. Each of the collectors is listed under contributors. Books by Dieter Roth, Tom Phillips and Ulises Carrion were the most popular cited by the collectors. Sackner's essay follows. When I received the request from Clive Phillpot to provide a list of artists' books - inexpensive books authored by artists that utilize mass-production printing technology - with examples from 1950 to date, I thought that the task would be simple. I would search my database under the classification Artist Book and be finished in a few hours. Here I am one week later writing the essay on the artists' books that I selected from our collection. This is because our database has a single entry for artists' books that includes one of a kind to press runs of thousands. I had...
