Elder artist

könnte man Charles Harrison nennen, analog zum Begriff des 'elder statesman'.

Bob hat mir das Buch



zugesandt und es wird sicherlich auf meinen Nachtisch auch keine Ruhe finden. Neben den Gesprächen mit dem 'Künstler-Kritiker', die so etwas wie eine 'oral history' der konzeptuellen Kunst zeigen, finden sich auch Bilder aus dem Archiv von Charles Harrison.

und hier die Ankündigung des Verlags:

Charles Harrison: Looking Back

Introduction by Jo Melvin
Ridinghouse 2011 • £20 | $39.95 • Softback • 272 pp • 21 x 15.3 cm | 8 x 6 in • 65 illustrations • ISBN 978 1 905464 29 6

Looking Back is a collection of auto-biographical interviews conducted with the art historian, curator, critic and professor Charles Harrison in the years before his death in August 2009. The publication developed from transcripts of interviews conducted by researchers, students and journalists seeking information about Harrison's experience of significant art historical events, institutions and artists. He also documented his experiences in the art world, amassing a large slide collection of images of exhibitions he visited, art works he championed and artists' and critics' studios and homes. These non-professional photographs represent Harrison's eye and will be reproduced in this volume.

Widely acknowledged as a leading figure in British art history, Harrison took part in and witnessed a period of crucial development of the arts in Britain. Here, Harrison is interviewed by Jo Melvin, Teresa Gleadowe and Pablo Lafuente, Juliette Rizzi, Sophie Richard, Elena Crippa and Christopher Heuer and Matthew Jesse Jackson.
