Exhibition catalog; from the foreward--"It was thought that in an age of such hurried and astonishing change as ours, in which art and the social order seem to be developing a new and closer relationship, the most meaningful exhibition the Musuem could offer would be one concerned with the artists who have taken the most advanced position in this engagement. These art forms composed of living elements, are, to speak frankly, not museum pieces in the historical sense. Their creators, eschewing the tangible, the portable, the marketable "art product," are not inspired to compete with the painters, sculptors, and printmakers of our time whose finite works abound in museums." Artists include Andy Warhol, Dennis Oppenheim, Vera Simons, Christo, and many others.
