Description
Overlay: Contemporary Art and the Art of Prehistory by Lucy R. Lippard This book explores the connection between contemporary art and prehistoric sites and symbols, revealing a continuum of forms, materials, symbols, and imagery used by artists over thousands of years. From the earliest examples of cave drawings to modern site art, Lucy Lippard examines the ways in which artists have employed these elements to create new works. Lavishly illustrated with over 320 black-and-white photographs and 8 pages of color images, Overlay showcases the work of numerous artists, including Carl Andre, Louise Bourgeois, and Robert Smithson, among others. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of art and society, and the ways in which prehistoric imagery can inform and inspire contemporary practice.
