Sculpture in So Many Words: Text Pieces 1960–75

Comprised of text sculpture from the early 1960s through the mid-1970s, Sculpture in So Many Words examines a body of work in which the most material of the visual arts was reduced to the least substantial of materials: ideas. The exhibition highlights work conceived for ephemeral media—gallery announcements, newspaper and magazine ads, posters and broadsheets, bulletins, articles, flyers, artist’s books, journal and catalog submission and various other insubstantial and impermanent documents—by some of the key figures in the development of conceptual art including Vito Acconci, Carl Andre, Keith Arnatt, Terry Atkinson, Art & Language, John Baldessari, Michael Baldwin, Robert Barry, Iain Baxter, Joseph Beuys, Mel Bochner, George Brecht, Stanley Brouwn, Victor Burgin, Donald Burgy, James Lee Byars, Don Celender, Hanne Darboven, Walter de Maria, Dan Flavin, Gilbert & George, Dan Graham, Hans Haacke, Michael Heizer, Douglas Huebler, John Lennon, Stephen Kaltenbach, On Kawara, Alison Knowles, Joseph Kosuth, Les Levine, Tom Marioni, Yutaka Matsuzawa, Mario Merz, Peter Laurens Mol, Robert Morris, N.E. Thing Company Ltd., Bruce Nauman, Yoko Ono, Dieter Roth, Ulrich Ruckriem, Allen Ruppersberg, Fred Sandback, Richard Serra, Lawrence Weiner.
