Reihe: Rethinking Art's Histories

The Happenings that burst on to the late 1950s cultural scene were rapidly declared passé and even ‘dead’, but this book reveals how an international network of artists continued to develop their premises into the late 1960s and 1970s, transforming the form into an interdisciplinary vehicle for studying interpersonal relations.
