[First Edition]

Claes Oldenburg

Injun & Other Histories (1960)

description

A stunning chap-book containing scripts for Oldenburg's performance "Injun," and three additional performances which were not produced. Note that Oldenburg is clear that he produced "performances," not "happenings," as espoused by both popular press and other artists in the 1960s.
