Neo-Dada

This book offers a fresh perspective on the renegade artists of the late 1950s and early 1960s, exploring their ironic wit, challenging images, and experimental methods. It examines the influence of original Dadaists like Marcel Duchamp and Kurt Schwitters on younger artists' readymades, found objects, and performance pieces. The work discusses diverse artists such as Arman, Jasper Johns, Allan Kaprow, Robert Rauschenberg, and Jean Tinguely, connecting previously separate movements like Pop Art, Fluxus, and Nouveau Realisme.
