RITE OF PASSAGE: The Early Years of Vienna Actionism, 1960-1966

Sale price$42.00

Shaped by the need to free itself from the traditions of painting, Vienna Actionism was a critical 20th-century avant-garde movement. RITE OF PASSAGE is a survey of the movement’s early, formative years, during which the group sought new possibilities for expression that could transcend the shadow of World War II. Focusing on Actionists Günter Brus, Otto Muehl, Hermann Nitsch, and Rudolf Schwarzkogler—each of whom found their own independent form of expression—this publication features paintings and collages, as well as a unique, rare selection of early vintage prints and original contact sheets, that offer a window into the movement and its aesthetic and thematic concerns.
