336 pp.; 26 x 21.5 cm.; sewn bound; black-and-white & color; edition size unknown; unsigned and unnumbered; offset-printed "This radical new study aims to change the way that some of the most influential artists of the past 40 years are seen--all of them women. Emphasizing questions of autonomy, critical intelligence and artistic intention, Witness to Her Art presents works by Adrian Piper, Mona Hatoum, Cady Noland, Jenny Holzer, Kara Walker, Daniela Rossell and Eau de Cologne, a magazine published by gallerist Monika Sprüth. The artworks are accompanied by original writings by the artists, contemporaneous criticism and newly commissioned essays by Pamela Franks, Aruna D'Souza, Johanna Burton, David Levi Strauss, Hamza Walker and Cuauhtémoc Medina. The ambitious works presented and interpreted herein invite us to consider the impact of the feminist revolution across generations while rendering obsolete any stigma associated with shows or catalogues limited to women artists. Taking its lead from Conceptualism, feminism, and from its included artists, Witness to Her Art reaches for art history's capacity as a medium of world-making." -- publisher's statement.

32 x 23cm. Hardcover with worn slipcase, 42pp. Signed by John Piper at front colophon, with an inscription "for Jeanne & Sherman [Stonor] with much love from John & Myfanwy, Christmas 1968" [the Hon. Ralph Robert Watts Sherman Stonor (only son of Lord and Lady Camoys of Stonor Park, Oxfordshire) and Jeanne Stourton (i.e. Dowager Lady Camoys)]. Undated publication, but c.1968. A lavish production printed by Will and Sebastian Carter at the Rampant Lions Press in Cambridge, but published in New York by the Chilmark Press. Illustrated paper-covered boards. The book is illustrated with ten drawings by John Piper engraved on wood by Reynolds Stone with a descriptive note by John Piper. Bound at the Cambridge University Press. One of 240 copies, of which this is numbered 121. Page edges rough cut. Interesting provenance: the Stonors were a landed aristocratic British couple, occasional patrons of artists such as Reynolds Stone - their daughter Julia Camoys Stonor wrote a memoir of Jeanne Stonor in 2006 alleging that her mother had murdered her husband in 1976, and that she was a Nazi sympathizer and had adulterous relationships with other men including Joachim von Ribbentrop. Some splitting to slipcase, which is fragile and in a perilous state. Book is in very good condition indeed.…
