Nuggets and old

Dan Graham began directing the John Daniels Gallery (New York) in 1964, where he put on Sol LeWitt’s first one-man show. In the group shows he organised he exhibited the works of Donald Judd, Dan Flavin, and Robert Smithson.\n\nLike these artists, Graham considered himself a writer-artist. His earliest work dealt with the magazine page, and one of his seminal early works was a series of magazine-style photographs with text, Homes for America (1966–1967).\n\nFocusing on cultural phenomena, and incorporating photography, video, performance, glass and mirror structures, Dan Graham’s practice has become a key part of the Conceptual art canon.\n\nThis volume brings together texts written on various artists he admires, as well as interviews collected since the 1990s, most notably on his large-scale installations incorporating mirrors – a culmination of his long examination of the psychological relationship between people and architecture.
