<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Published on the occasion of the exhibition held June 23-December 14, 2018, at CCS Bard, Annandale-on-Hudson, NY.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>The Conditions of Being Art</i> is the first book to examine the activities of groundbreaking contemporary art galleries Pat Hearn Gallery and American Fine Arts, Co. (1983-2004), and the transnational milieu of artists, dealers and critics that surrounded them.</p><p>Drawing on the archives of dealers Pat Hearn and Colin de Land--both, independently, legendary players on the New York art scene of the 1980s and '90s, and one of the great love stories of the art world--this publication illustrates their distinctive artistic practices, significant exhibitions and events, and daily business. Hearn and de Land championed art that challenged the business of running an art gallery; artists like Renée Green and Susan Hiller, Andrea Fraser and Cady Noland, who employed conceptualism and installation, social and institutional critique.</p><p>Contributing to the history of exhibitions, institutions and curating, <i>The Conditions of Being Art</i> addresses a significant gap in this literature around experimental commercial spaces in recent art history. This publication is the first book-length critical account of the alternative commercial gallery practices of the 1990s, a moment and a scene that is extremely influential to many of today's art dealers, curators and artists.</p><p>Hearn and de Land's gallery practices explored new experimental and ethical possibilities within the selling of art, testing the relationship of contemporary art to its markets. In this volume, full-color images, in-depth scholarly investigations and detailed gallery histories vibrantly document how Hearn and de Land tested new notions of what an art gallery could be.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>The Conditions of being Art tracks the careers of the charismatic and influential gallerists Pat Hearn and Colin de Land.--Lisa Darms "Bookforum"<br>
