New York; Harry N. Abrams, [1966]. First edition. 31,5x31,5 cm. 341, (1, 2 blanks) pp. Illustrated. Original brown burlap with title on spine and front board. Spine and a small portion of front board are slightly faded. A fine copy. A textual and photographical documentation of Kaprow's happenings, a term he coined already in 1959, and of the contemporary avant-garde. In the preface he states: "This book is an introduction to a recent development in the arts. It concentrates on the background, the theory, and some of the implications of these developments. The book, furthermore, is not intented to be a summary after the fact. It has been written in the midst of a young activity, with an interest that was both observant and highly biased. Being part of the activity, I was inclined to look at and judge an art-in-the-making as well as influence its course. Artists, like critics and historians, make the history they reflect, even with the best intentions to remain objective. I thought, when I began writing, that I should try both to observe and to influence as much as possible." From the library of Anders Tornberg Gallery in Lund, Sweden, and with a stamp confirming this on the last blank page.
