The New York proto-punk zine that defined postconceptualism, now in a
facsimile edition
Edited by Walter Robinson, Edit DeAk and Joshua Cohn, Art-Rite was
published in New York City between 1973 and 1978. The periodical has
long been celebrated for its underground/overground position and its
cutting, humorous, on-the-streets coverage and critique of the art
world. Art-Rite moved easily through the expansive community it mapped
out, paying homage to an emergent generation of artists, including many
who were--or would soon become--the defining voices of the era. Through
hundreds of interviews, reviews, statements and projects for the
page--as well as artist-focused and thematic issues on video, painting,
performance and artists' books--Art-Rite's sharp editorial vision and
commitment to holding up the work of artists stands as a meaningful and
lasting contribution to the art history of New York and beyond. All
issues of Art-Rite are collected in this volume.
