Comprehensive monograph on the work of George Maciunas. Text by Thomas Kellein. Includes name index. "The funniest and saddest episode in twentieth-century art is the story of Fluxus...Maciunas, who died at he age of forty-six, devoted his life to Fluxus...A staunch opponent of personal enrichment, he came up with Spartan solutions for almost every life situation, developing his own subversive notion of art well before today's global networks and multi-million dollar art market became a reality...In an interview not long before he died, impoverished and in miserable circumstances, he dryly summed up the outcome of the Fluxus movement, laughing momentarily, 'We came out to be a bunch of jokers.'" -- from publishers statement.
