After Leonard’s death in 1970, Jean’s attention turned to Fluxus and other contemporary genres. Jean also established a site of alternative art production at her Shaker Seed House in Tyringham, Massachusetts, where she invited artists to engage with her collections.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Fluxus works embraced the social and political critiques of earlier avant-garde artists and questioned the authority of the increasingly powerful contemporary art world of critics, collectors, curators, and gallerists. This examination of artists and their antiestablishment demands for change shows how their art was created, performed, exhibited, and collected in new ways that intentionally challenged traditional modes. By providing an expanded understanding of avant-garde and Fluxus artists through the lens of the Jean Brown Archive at the Getty Research Institute, this volume demonstrates the profound influence these artists had on contemporary art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This volume is published to accompany a future exhibition at the Getty Research Institute at the Getty Center.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marcia Reed","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42848989151293,"sku":"9781606066621","price":84.56,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7689\/2989\/files\/9781606066621_c97c17d2-7ba9-44ec-a6f6-2d15f29a021b.jpg?v=1766991135","url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/fluxus-means-change","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
