Marcia Resnick: As It Is or Could Be
English
By (author): Casey Riley Frank H. Goodyear Lisa Hostetler
Illuminating the photographers contributions to New Yorks Downtown art scene and her acute feminist work
Photographer Marcia Resnick (b. 1950) earned recognition as part of the legendary Downtown New York art scene of the 1970s and 1980s. Her portraits of the eras major cultural figures, such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, John Belushi, and Susan Sontag, have contributed to the scenes mythic status. Against this backdrop, Resnick also produced a significant body of work that engaged with the history of art, took a humorous approach to conceptual art and feminism, and proposed new ideas for what photography could be.
Spanning the artists career, this richly illustrated volume explores Resnicks early influences and education at Cooper Union and CalArts; discusses her series and photobooks such as See and Re-visions; and situates the artists work within the history of contemporary art. An afterword by Laurie Anderson speaks to the very personal vision of Resnicks photography.
