As gallery goers soon discovered, this address did not exist-the street numbers went from 16 to 20 to 24 to 28-and neither did the art supposedly exhibited there. The ads were promoting fictional shows by fictional artists in a fictional gallery. The scheme, eventually exposed by a New York Times reporter, was concocted by the artist Terry Fugate-Wilcox as both work of art and critique of the art world. 0In this book, Christopher Howard brings this forgotten Conceptual art project back into view. Howard demonstrates that Fugate-Wilcox's project was an exceptionally clever embodiment of many important aspects of Conceptualism, incisively synthesizing the major aesthetic issues of its time-documentation and dematerialization, serialism and process, text and image, publishing and publicity. He puts the Jean Freeman Gallery in the context of other magazine-based work by Mel Bochner, Judy Chicago, Yoko Ono, and Ed Ruscha, and compares the fictional artists' projects with actual Earthworks by Walter De Maria, Peter Hutchinson, Dennis Oppenheim, and more. Despite the deadpan perfection of the Jean Freeman Gallery project, the art establishment marginalized its creator, and the project itself was virtually erased from art history. Howard corrects these omissions, drawing on deep archival research, personal interviews, and investigation of fine-printed clues to shed new light on a New York art world mystery. 600 10 $a Fugate-Wilcox, Terry $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a Fugate-Wilcox, Terry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01991405 650 0 $a Conceptual art $z United States. 650 0 $a Art $x Documentation. 650 7 $a Art $x Documentation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815229 650 7 $a Conceptual art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00872980 651 7 $a United States $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214011922.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190103015657.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8CD6CB700F2511E9BB56EF4997128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
