In this important new survey, Catherine Wood proposes that performance is not a genre of art separate from object making but rather an attitude that has infiltrated the entire terrain of contemporary art. Examining in turn individual, social, and objectbased approaches, Wood first examines the influential performance art of the 1960s to 1980s: the body art of the Viennese actionists, the raw performances of Yoko Ono and Chris Burden, and the experiments of the Japanese Gutai group, among others. She then explores how these sources have been revisited, reformed, or rejected by con temporary artists in the 21st century. This impressive book includes international artists who fall outside the traditional European and North American focus, giving the reader the broadest and most uptodate insight into the subject yet published.

I bought this book on contemporary art for my art history class, and it's been a fantastic resource. The analyses of the artworks really helped me understand the context behind each piece. It covers everything from abstract art to installations—definitely worth the investment!

Great Resource but Pricey
This book offers a great overview of contemporary art movements. I appreciated the depth of information, but the price felt a bit high for the amount of content. It's good for those really into art, but casual readers might feel it’s not worth it.

Disappointed by the Condition
I was excited to receive this book, but it arrived with a few dents on the cover, which was disappointing. The content seems interesting, but I can't help but feel let down by the packaging. Make sure to check the condition before selling!

Informative but a Bit Dense
The content is solid, but I found some sections a bit overwhelming. If you’re looking for a light read, this isn't it. Still, for anyone serious about contemporary art, it provides useful insights and perspectives. Just take your time with it!
