This is an out-of-print, limited-edition exhibition catalog of the mix-media / performance artist and composer Laurie Anderson`s first American museum retrospective.

Curator Janet Kardon chronicles Anderson`s creative rise from her 1960`s days studying art at Barnard College and Columbia University, to the creation of her early staged performances, interactive sculptures, film / video pieces, first experimental recordings, with the critical writings for Artforum, and her participatory presence in New York`s downtown artistic scene of the 1970`s. Essays on the 1981 hit single `O Superman`, her 1982 album `Big Science, and the 1983 performance and recording `United States` concludes this historical document.

This art book is complete with the artist`s time-line, index, bibliography, and is lavishly illustrated with beautiful 4-colors and black & white reproductions handsomely printed on glossy paper stock.

Laurie Anderson is a highly acclaimed performance artist who also became an unlikely pop star in the 1980s. She was a pioneer of multimedia Performance and Installation art, before crossing over into the popular music industry with songs from her large-scale performance pieces, later producing full albums for commercial release. As one of the first artists of her downtown New York context to achieve a level of commercial fame, she was at the forefront of debates around the influence of mass media on the art world. She has since been recognized as being remarkably ahead of her time in embracing of new technologies in art and performance practice, and in her engagement with new media to share her work.
