Installation Art

Installation Art by Nicola Oxley. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781560987048.

Installation is arguably the most original, vigorous, and fertile form of art today. This book sets out to describe the tradition and explore the achievements and ambitions of the installation artist. Michael Archers illuminating introduction traces the history of installation art from Duchamps first readymade through the Pop tableaux of Kienholz, Oldenburg, Kaprow, and Dine to more recent developments such as Land Art and Process Art. Installation is a rich art form, often heroic in scale, sometimes witty and subversive, usually impermanent. This pioneering volume captures fully the variety and scale of these many-layered works—the essential contemporary record.
