In 1965, what seemed to be a group show by then \"hot\" artists (Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, George Segal, and James Rosenquist, among others) was in fact Sturtevant's first solo exhibit, every work in it created by herself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSturtevant would continue to make her work the work of others. The subject of major museum exhibitions throughout Europe and awarded the Golden Lion for lifetime achievement at the 54th Venice Biennale, she will have a major survey at the MoMA, New York, in 2014.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eUnder the Sign of  sic]\u003c\/i\u003e, Bruce Hainley unpacks the work of Sturtevant, providing the first book-length monographic study of the artist in English. Hainley draws on elusive archival materials to tackle not only Sturtevant's work but also the essential problem that it poses. Hainley examines all of Sturtevant's projects in a single year (1967); uses her \u003ci\u003eGonzalez-Torres Untitled (Go-Go Dancing Platform)\u003c\/i\u003e from 1995 as a conceptual wedge to consider contemporary art's place in the world; and, finally, digs into the most occluded part of her career, from 1971 to 1973, when she created works by Michael Heizer and Walter de Maria, and had her first solo American museum exhibit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bruce Hainley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1584351225\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781584351221\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Semiotext(e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/17\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.14h x 7.18w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/14\/2013","brand":"Bruce Hainley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939791307007,"sku":"9781584351221","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_02acec2f-3f56-4ecc-9f8c-ea5b62f19660.jpg?v=1681443505","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/under-the-sign-of-bruce-hainley-9781584351221","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
