When the paper stacks are low, viewers sometimes take a sheet only to return it later, as if unwilling to deny someone else the oppor­ tunity of engagement. Massed into neat stacks or herded into a comer, the paper stacks and candy spills recall the rigorous geom­ etry of Minimalist sculpture.

    You may download and print this text by Roberta Serpolli, solely for personal use THE PANZA COLLECTION STORY “The Panza Collection is entirely a couple’s affair. When my wife Giovanna and I discover works by a new artist, I look at her and she looks at me. I can see in her eyes if she wants to buy or not. So even between my wife and me, ‘looking’ is an issue.” Giuseppe Panza, 20091 Giuseppe Panza di Biumo, along with his wife Giovanna, is recognized as one of the world’s foremost collectors of contemporary art. The collection, originally composed of around 2,500 works of art, is mainly representative of the most significant developments in American art from post- World War II to the 21st century. Along with a need to fulfill spiritual and inner quests, both intuition and reflection have inspired the collectors’ choice that would demonstrate, retrospectively, their far- sightedness. By devoting themselves to an in-depth focus on emerging artists and specific creative periods, the Panzas contributed to acknowledging the new art forms among both the general public and the art market. The Beginnings of the Collection: On the Road to America The collection ideally began in 1954 when Giuseppe, at the age of thirty years, traveled to South America and the United States, from New York to Los Angeles, where he discovered the continents’ captivating vitality of economy and culture. Upon his return to Milan, he felt the need to take part in the international cultural milieu. In 1955, shortly after his marriage with Giovanna Magnifico, Giuseppe purchased his first work of art by Italian abstract painter Atanasio Soldati.

    THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART ACQUIRES MAJOR COLLECTION OF CONCEPTUAL ART FROM SETH SIEGELAUB AND THE STICHTING EGRESS FOUNDATION, AMSTERDAM New York, June 10, 2011—The Museum of Modern Art has acquired a major group of works from the collection of exhibition organizer, publisher, and dealer Seth Siegelaub, a key supporter of artists working in dematerialized art practices in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The collection includes 20 defining works of Conceptual art by Vito Acconci, Robert Barry, Douglas Huebler, On Kawara, Joseph Kosuth, Robert Smithson, and Lawrence Weiner, all of whom moved away from the traditional production of objects and chose instead to explore language, sound, time, movement, or mapping as their primary mediums. In addition, Seth Siegelaub and the Stichting Egress Foundation have donated to The Museum of Modern Art Archives Siegelaub’s own extensive archives, containing correspondence, photographs, notes, exhibition proposals, and many other significant documents that offer a tremendous resource to scholars of this period. As part of the acquisition, Siegelaub has given the Museum four major works: Robert Barry’s 90mc Carrier Wave (FM), 1968, which transmits inaudible radio waves throughout a given space; Douglas Huebler’s Duration Piece No. 6 (1969), a series of photographs documenting the gradual dissemination of a rectangle made of sawdust on the floor of Siegelaub’s ―January 5–31, 1969‖ exhibition; Joseph Kosuth’s Titled (Art as Idea as Idea). The Word “Definition,” (1966- 1968), an early Photostat enlargement of a dictionary entry for the word ―definition;‖ and Lawrence Weiner’s A 36” x 36” Removal to the Lathing or Support Wall of a Plaster or Wallboard from the Wall (1968), a work which, according to the artist’s statement, can be fabricated or can simply exist as language.

    The Benefit of the Doubt: Regarding the Photographic Conditions of Conceptual Art, 1966-1973 by Heather A. Diack A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Art University of Toronto © Copyright by Heather A. Diack 2010 The Benefit of the Doubt: Regarding the Photographic Conditions of Conceptual Art, 1966-1973 Heather A. Diack Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Art University of Toronto 2010 Abstract This dissertation offers a reconsideration of the uses of photography under the aegis of Conceptual Art between 1966 and 1973 by analyzing the ways photography challenged epistemological limits, and, despite the claims regarding the medium’s inherent indexicality, emphasized experience over exactitude, and doubt in place of certainty. By focusing on four American practitioners, I argue for the “benefit of the doubt;” in other words, for the value of disbelief and hesitation, marking the reorientation of art at this time towards critical methods which oppose all orthodoxies, including but not limited to formalist dogmas, and instead are committed to the denial of autonomy in favor of understanding meaning as infinitely contingent. The dissertation is divided among four key case studies, including Mel Bochner (n. 1940), Bruce Nauman (n. 1941), Douglas Huebler (1924-1997), and John Baldessari (n. 1931). Each chapter argues for the unique contribution of photography in relation to conceptual art practices, while also situating the projects of these individual practitioners within the broader history of the medium of photography. I explore specifically the concepts of seriality, transparency and theory in Bochner; performance, “worklessness,” and failure in Nauman; portraiture, mapping and impossibility in Huebler; humor, didacticism, choice and chance in Baldessari.

The Globalization of Advanced Art in the Twentieth Century David Galenson NBER Working Paper No. 14005 May 2008 JEL No. J00 ABSTRACT The twentieth century was a time of rapid globalization for advanced art. Artists from a larger number of countries made important contributions than in earlier periods, and they did so in a larger number of places. Many important innovations also diffused more rapidly, and more widely, than in earlier times. The dominance for much of the century of conceptual forms of art, from Cubism and Dada to Pop and Conceptual Art, was largely responsible for the greater speed with which innovations spread: conceptual techniques are communicated more readily, and are generally more versatile in their uses, than experimental methods. There is no longer a single dominant place in the art world, comparable to Paris for the first century of modern art, but it is unlikely that a large number of places will join New York and London as centers of artistic innovation in the future.

It examines the complex form and function of documents in his Location Pieces and establishes documentation as the zone of encounter between an artistic concept, proposal, or system, and the outside world. Focusing on the essential role of photographic images in his pieces affords new analysis of Huebler’s practice. Central to that practice was the tension between the photograph as an allegedly neutral document – an idea deeply rooted in the history of photographic discourse – and its critical as well as aesthetic potential. Keywords: Conceptualism; Documentation; Photography; Douglas Huebler (1924–1997) In his Location, Duration, and Variable Pieces, which Douglas Huebler (1924–1997) began making in the late 1960s, the artist combined short written statements with other materials, most often maps and photographs.

  • Athena Tacha: an Artist's Library on Environmental Sculpture and Conceptual
    ATHENA TACHA: An Artist’s Library on Environmental Sculpture and Conceptual Art 916 titles in over 975 volumes ATHENA TACHA: An Artist’s Library on Environmental Sculpture and Conceptual Art The Library of Athena Tacha very much reflects the work and life of the artist best known for her work in the fields of environmental public sculpture and conceptual art, as well as photography, film, and artists’ books. Her library contains important publications, artists’ books, multiples, posters and documentation on environmental and land art, sculpture, as well as the important and emerging art movements of the sixties and seventies: conceptual art, minimalism, performance art, installation art, and mail art. From 1973 to 2000, she was a professor and curator at Oberlin College and its Art Museum, and many of the original publications and posters and exhibition announcements were mailed to her there, addressed to her in care of the museum (and sometimes to her colleague, the seminal curator Ellen Johnson, or her husband Richard Spear, the historian of Italian Renaissance art). One of the first artists to develop environmental site-specific sculpture in the early 1970s. her library includes the Berlin Land Art exhibition of 1969, a unique early “Seed Distribution Project” by the land and environmental artist Alan Sonfist, and a manuscript by Patricia Johanson. The library includes important and seminal exhibition catalogues from important galleries such as Martha Jackson’s “New Forms-New Media 1” from 1960. Canadian conceptual art is represented by N.E Thing, including the exhibition at the National Gallery of Canada, and the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design Projects Class cards, both in 1969.

  • Words to Be Looked At: Language in 1960S
    6 Text and Image:Rereading Conceptual Art In 1969, the artist Douglas Huebler famously asserted,“I use the camera as a ‘dumb’ copying device that only serves to document whatever phenomena appears before it through the conditions set by a system.No ‘aesthetic’choices are possible.”1 Likewise,Ed Ruscha,discussing the images in his 1960s’photo books, disclaimed any relation to art photography, insisting that “they are technical data like industrial photography . .nothing more than snapshots.”2 Such statements are not atypical. The view of photography they ad- vance,as a seemingly neutral means of recording information,underlies much art of the 1960s and 1970s.This turn to photography was part of an over- arching tendency to use mechanical recording and reproduction technol- ogies—tape recorders,video, Xerox machines,and so on—to make art.Such technologies promised a machinelike impersonality and distance from con- ventional modes of self-expression.This adoption of indexical models in turn greatly impacted the use and function of language in this art. For as we will see, in the shift to media- and information-based paradigms, words often moved from instruction, description, and record to a more conventional, if also ambivalent, status as caption.Yet alongside this more familiar text-image relation, a different logic emerged in which language became subject to the form of the archive or catalogue. Viewed from the present-day art world, where monumentally scaled color photographs seem poised to displace painting as the most visually spectacular and commercially successful artistic medium,it is hard to imagine the radical promise and threat that photography seemed to hold in the 1960s.
