Beschreibung

pp. 112. ÒLothar BaumgartenÕs site-specific work for New YorkÕs Guggenheim Museum, AMERICA Invention, is comprised of two pieces: the painted installation in the Frank Lloyd Wright building and this publication. Just as BaumgartenÕs wall work appropriates the architectural structure of WrightÕs museum, this publication usurps the format of Guggenheim Magazine. This ÔissueÕ, however, has been designed by the artist, together with his long-time collaborator Walter Nikkels, and is intended to be a work in itself.Ó (from the catalogueÕs Foreword). Most of the catalogue consists in fact of BaumgartenÕs photographs of the Pitt Rivers Museum collection of ethnographic objects, taken between 1968 and 1970. This copy inscribed in 1993 by Baumgarten on the opening page. PublisherÕs wrappers. Slightly rubbed, with creasing to rear cover. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 26
