Featuring a large documentation of films, happenings, actions, performances, the book analyses in clear, compelling terms, the evolution of this artistic phenomenon through the works of sixty artists, including Gina Pane, Gilbert & George, Ben Vautier, Richard Serra, Franco Vaccari…" -- Publisher's website.
