Presenting an international array of artists against the background of world culture, Crow portrays the ways in which the American art scene - including such key figures as Leo Castelli, Eva Hesse, Jasper Johns, Robert Morris, Robert Smithson, Cy Twombly, and Andy Warhol - fit into the corresponding European and international movements of the time, among them Situationalism, Conceptualism, Feminism, Environmentalism, and Op Art." "Generously illustrated, the book encompasses all the major players in the art world of the 1960s and examines how they influenced and inspired one another, while struggling to have an impact on a world preoccupied with social crisis."--BOOK JACKET.
