Enjoyed reading this new art book. It’s about ten artists who withdrew from the art world to various extents, or adopted an antagonistic position toward its mechanisms, including really well known artists such as David Hammons, Cady Noland, Agnes Martin, and references Marcel Duchamp’s earlier 10-yr “retirement” from art. It looks at the nature of retreat, whether in protest, as a deliberate conceptual act, or out of necessity. It considers how the needs of the artist and the needs of today's art world often diverge. #contemporaryart #art #bookstagram #book #artworld A post shared by John Johnston (@jjprojects) on Apr 2, 2017 at 3:39pm PDT
