Description

Cases of citation presents a history of artists who incorporated literary references into their work from the 1960s onwards.

Through a series of object-focused chapters that each take up a singular case of citation, the collection considers how literary citation emerged as a viable and urgent strategy for artists during this period. It surveys eleven artworks by a diverse group of artists including David Wojnarowicz, Lis Rhodes, Romare Bearden and Silvia Kolbowski whose citations draw on works as varied as Karl Marxs Das Kapital and Mary Shelleys Frankenstein.

The book also features an interview with pioneering feminist artist Elaine Reichek that discusses her career-long commitment to working with text. Together, the artworks and cited texts are approached from various critical angles, with each author questioning and complicating the ways in which we can read textual citations in art.
