A Bigger Splash by Catherine Wood
Offers a look at the dynamic relationship between performance and painting from 1950 onwards. Moving through half a century of work in painting, video and photography, and including archival and documentary material, this book shows how performance art has challenged and energised the medium of painting for successive generations.
