Content: A Contemporary Focus, 1974–1984

This catalogue was published on the occasion to the exhibition. The central theme of this exhibition was the proposition that content — a work of art’s meaning in broad social and cultural contexts — had emerged as a central issue of the preceding 10 years, challenging stylistic innovation as the chief impulse in contemporary art. Represented were 145 artists working in the US and abroad in a range of styles and media, including constructions, paintings, and photographs.
