AFTER ART. 1974.

New York: Museum of Mott Art (the artist), 1974
21.5 x 13.5 cm, 12pp plus printed wrappers. First edition. Levine’s tongue in cheek offer to act as a consultant to other artists, their widows, agents and dealers follows his statement that “Art is dead”. Often hilarious, Levine’s fee at a minimum of $35 a hour covers such services as helping women artists “to develop guilt feelings in critics so that they will write about your work”; or a reading service for conceptual artists: “we also stand by and turn pages for artists who wish to do their own reading”; Levine’s book also contains his short essay which argues that “Art is dead”. Wonderful item. Fine.
