Reviews

Rigorously researched and highly readable, this excellent book uncovers the many fascinating sides of American art's obsession with architecture in the 1960s and 1970s. Bieber reveals the dreams of the period while also asking how this art looks now, from the vantage of a new generation's effort to make a better future. --Joshua Shannon, University of Maryland Susanneh Bieber's book rigorously examines the intersection of art, architecture, and urban planning. She demonstrates the many creative ways with which artists engaged zoning laws and historic preservation, and reimagined architectural plans and construction sites. --Cecile Whiting, University of California, Irvine Bieber's book is outstanding in demonstrating the relevance of architecture to art, and in convincingly organizing artistic and architectural pairings. Just as remarkable is her complication of canonical artists and established perspectives through socio-politics. She rethinks projects and legacies with perspicacity and sensitivity. --Katherine Smith, author of The Accidental Possibilities of the City
