Lawrence Weiner is one of the pioneers of conceptual art according to which language is the best medium for art. That is why printed matter plays an essential role in his work, from the design of his own catalogues to his proper artist\u2019s books: fifty since 1968.<\/p>\n
Lawrence Weiner was one of seven artists included in the well-known publication\/exhibition known familiarly as the\u00a0Xerox Book\u00a0that was published in New York in 1968 by Seth Siegelaub and John\u00a0W.\u00a0(Jack)\u00a0Wendler. This\u00a0Xerox Book\u00a0was one of the auguries of conceptual art. In the same year Siegelaub, with assistance from the Louis Kellner Foundation, published Weiner\u2019s first artist book:\u00a0STATEMENTS. A\u00a0few years later, in 1971, Siegelaub\u2019s erstwhile partner Jack Wendler left New York and moved to London. He soon presented his first exhibition, which took the form of a printed card by Lawrence Weiner, and by the beginning of the next year had his own exhibition space. In addition, in 1972, he published Weiner\u2019s ninth artist book:\u00a0GREEN AS WELL AS BLUE AS WELL\u00a0AS RED. As Weiner has said: THE BOOK CAME ABOUT BECAUSE OF AN EXHIBITION OF THE WORK AT JACK WENDLER\u2019S GALLERY IN LONDON. I ASKED JACK IF HE WOULD MAKE A BOOK & AND HE SAID YES. HE FOUND A PRINTER & THE BOOK WAS MADE. This simple statement is at one with the kind of book that was published.\u00a0GREEN AS WELL AS BLUE AS WELL AS\u00a0RED\u00a0was, like its eight predecessors, a container for terse verbal information. (It was not until his twelfth book, in 1973, that Weiner introduced photographs into his books.) When asked for two or three lines about the origins of this book, Weiner stated: THERE IS NOTHING TO SAY. A BOOK IS A BOOK FOR ALL THAT. Subsequently he added: THE BOOK IS ABOUT ITS CONTENTS. PERHAPS NOT AT ALL ABOUT THE SHELF IT FINDS ITSELF ON. And finally, given that this is a \u2018little red book:\u2019 (PERHAPS IT IS JUST BY CHANCE THAT IT LOOKS LIKE ONE OF MAO\u2019S BOOKS.)<\/p>\n
