A number of people have asked what was suggested. The most suggested was Jack Robertson's book: Twentieth-century artists on art: an index to writings, statements, and interviews by artists, artchitects, and designers / Jack S. Robertson (2nd ed., G. K. Hall, 1996) Also, some other texts suggested multiple times were: Theories and documents of contemporary art: a sourcebook of artists' writings / edited by Kristine Stils...(Univ. of California Press, 1996) Art recollection: artists' interviews and statements in the nineties / ed. by Gabriele Detterer (dist. by Printed Matter, 1997) And the following websites were recommended: http://www.eciad.bc.ca/eciadMain/wc/artiststate2.htm http://naia-artists.org/work/statement.htm I especially like the last site because they provide samples online and that is what our students really want.
