Over more than thirty years, Franklin Furnace has exhibited works by hundreds of avant-garde artists, some of whom - Laurie Anderson, Vito Acconci and the Blue Man Group, to name a few - are now established names in contemporary art. Here, for the first time, is a comprehensive history of this remarkable organization from its conception to the present. Organized around the context of the major art genres that emerged in the second half of the twentieth century, this book intersperses first-person narratives with readings by artists and scholars on issues critical to the organization's success as well as Franklin Furnace's many contributions to avant-garde art. 606 $aAvant-garde (Aesthetics)$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAvant-garde (Aesthetics)$zUnited States$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aArts$xExperimental methods$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aArts$xExperimental methods$xHistory$y21st century 615 0$aAvant-garde (Aesthetics)$xHistory 615 0$aAvant-garde (Aesthetics)$xHistory 615 0$aArts$xExperimental methods$xHistory 615 0$aArts$xExperimental methods$xHistory 676 $a700.411 676 $a709.04/070747471 700 $aSant$b Toni$01644593 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823138803321 996 $aFranklin Furnace and the spirit of the avant-garde$93990571 997 $aUNINA
