The Machine as Seen at the End of the Mechanical Age
Lavishly produced and scholarly catalog of an exhibition concerned with the artistic engagement with the machine, primarily in the 20th century, held at the Museum of Modern Art New York from Nov. 25, 1968-Feb 9, 1969. Curated by K.G. Pontus Hulten and published by MoMA in 1968. The chronological roster of artists presented includes Leonardo Da Vinci and Eadweard Muybridge by way of pre-20th century introduction, followed by Lyonel Feininger, Umberto Boccioni, Giacomo Balla, Giorgio de Chirico, Jacob Epstein, Wyndham Lewis, Joseph Stella, Kasimir Malevich, Raymond Duchamp-Villon, Robert Delaunay, Marcel Duchamp, Francis Picabia, Man Ray, Naum Gabo, Vladimir Tatlin, Raoul Hausmann, El Lissitzky, George Grosz, Kurt Schwitters, Hannah Hoch, Max Ernst, Paul Klee, Liubov Popova, Oskar Schlemmer, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Fernand Leger, Buckminster Fuller, Alexander Calder, Rube Goldberg, Charles Chaplin, Alberto Giacometti, Hans Bellmer, Mark Tobey, Bruno Munari, Jacques Tinguely, Ed van Eisken, Richard Stankiewicz, Robert Watts, Rene Magritte, Edward Kienholz, James Rosenquist, Cesar, Claes Oldenburg, Robert Rauschenberg, Robert Breer, Thomas Shannon, Takis, Hans Haacke, and Nam June Paik. Concludes with a short review of the Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.) “shadow” exhibition held simultaneously in Brooklyn under the aegis of Billy Kluver. Hinged aluminum boards, 8vo (8.5” x 9.75”), 216 pages, b/w reproductions, featuring a silkscreened and embossed aluminum cover designed by Anders Osterlin after a photograph of MoMA by Alicia Legg. A truly outstanding copy of what is arguably one of the most outstanding exhibition catalogs ever produced, both in terms of content and design. Some very minor abrasions to the vibrant front cover, some scratches to rear cover. Almost no oxidation, which is uncommon with this title. Contents clean and bright.
