{"product_id":"new-realisms-julia-robinson-9780262515221","title":"New Realisms: 1957-1962: Object Strategies Between Readymade and Spectacle","description":"\u003cb\u003eWorks by a pre-Pop, post-abstract expressionist generation of artists who rejected painterly expression and embraced the object.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the 1950s became the 1960s, a new generation of artists around the globe rejected direct painterly expression and returned decisively to the object. Moving away from abstract expressionism and toward the sensibility that would become Pop, these artists--among them Raymond Hains, Martial Raysse, Yves Klein, Daniel Spoerri, Jean Tinguely, and Robert Rauschenberg--effectively established a new set of artistic paradigms that would influence the decade ahead. \u003ci\u003eNew Realisms: 1957-1962\u003c\/i\u003e maps this international field of artistic practice, showcasing more than 200 works by artists of the period. The title echoes the name of the French movement of the 1960s \"Nouveau R alisme.\" Indeed, the work of the Nouveaux R alistes group anchors the book (and the exhibition it accompanies), but at the same time, \u003ci\u003e New Realisms\u003c\/i\u003e represents a wider range of related instincts, diversely expressed. The emphasis is on a constellation of activities in play before the new critical terms and categories of Pop Art were set in stone. The book views the emerging artistic scene from the other end of the telescope, as it were: from a European perspective rather than from that of American Pop Art. \u003ci\u003eNew Realisms\u003c\/i\u003e is emphatically hybrid, encompassing the initiatives of the French group as well as trajectories in New York that stretched from painting to \"Environment\" to Happening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eArtists include: \u003c\/b\u003e Arman, George Brecht, Cesar, Christo, G rard Deschamps, Jim Dine, Fran ois Dufr ne, Oyvind Fahlstrom, Raymond Hains, Allan Kaprow, Yves Klein, Yayoi Kusama, Roy Lichtenstein, Piero Manzoni, Claes Oldenburg, Giuseppe Pinot Gallizio, Robert Rauschenberg, Martial Raysse, Mimmo Rotella, Niki de Saint Phalle, Daniel Spoerri, Jean Tinguely, Robert Watts, and Robert Whitman.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEssays by: \u003c\/b\u003e Julia Robinson, Hannah Feldman, Agnes Berecz, Emmelyn Butterfield-Rosen, Benjamin H.
