Description

"These works have been variously deployed through live actions, often documented on video, and more recently in outsized figures and artificial rural environments, combined in overtly sexual ways. McCarthy's work echoes that of European artists such as Joseph Beuys and the Viennese Aktonstes, but gives 'action art' a postmodern twist. This is the first comprehensive survey of over forty years of practice by a profoundly influential artist whose work is in the collections of the world's most important museums."--Provided by publisher.
