- List Price: $22.00
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Mit Pr
- Publish date: 07/01/1999
In addition to the descriptions and color images of the historic and new billboards, the book contains almost three hundred short entries, offering the first broad survey of the medium. More than half of these entries include a small color image.
The book also contains three essays. In "Disturbances in the Field of Mammon: Toward a History of Artists' Billboards, " Harriet Senie finds precursors for contemporary billboards in European art posters (Toulouse-Lautrec), modern political posters (Rodchenko), and war billboards ("Uncle Sam Wants You"). She looks at the subject matter of contemporary artists' billboards -- racism, feminism, environmental issues, war and peace, consumerism, and AIDS -- and at artists' strategies and site choices. Public artist Peggy Diggs discusses the process through which billboards are made and the problems encountered by billboard artists, and curator Laura Heon writes about works in the exhibition, in particular the (often conceptual) billboards that do not "sell" anypolitical message.
