Hickey, Dave
Air Guitar: Essays on Art and Democracy
Los Angeles Art Issues, Press 1997 0963726455 / 9780963726452 Trade Paperback Very Good
215 pp.; 23 cm. Tight, clean copy. Missing blank flyleaf. Another copy available. "Air Guitar is Dave Hickey's 'memoir without tears' - a journey through the vernacular cultural landscape of the United States in the second half of the twentieth century. Looking back from the vantage-point of his adopted hometown of Las Vegas, Hickey speculates on everything from jazz and rock-and-roll to basketball and professional wrestling - from magic and psychedelia to gambling and the culture of 'little stores' - from automotive design to series television to Saturday-morning cartoons. The emphasis in these 23 essays is on the way the arts function in the drift of everyday life, outside the venues of official culture, and on singular 'lives in the arts,' lived outside those venues, with meditations on the careers of Liberace, Hank Williams, Chet Baker, Andy Warhol, Johnny Mercer, Norman Rockwell, magicians Siegfried & Roy, and wrestler Lady Godiva. Underlying Hickey's writing is an abiding belief that cultural life in a democracy can (and occasionally does) function in a democratic manner, sustained by the whims of affection and the commerce of opinion." - Publisher.

Knight, Christopher, and Wilson, Malin (Edited by), and Hickey, Dave (Foreword by)
Last Chance for Eden: Selected Art Criticism by Christopher Knight, 1979-1994
Los Angeles, CA Art Issues, Press; Foundation for Advanced Critical Studies, Inc. 1995 0963726420 / 9780963726421 First Edition, First Printing Hard Cover Fine Fine Collectible
xix, 420 pp., illus., biblio., index; 23 cm. Tight, clean copy. Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. Art critic for the LA Times. "Christopher Knight is the unprecedented five-time winner of the Chemical Bank Award for Distinguished Newspaper Art Criticism, and was a finalist for the 1990 Pulitzer Prize in criticism. Writing first for the Los Angeles Herald Examiner and now for the Los Angeles Times, Knight has developed a new journalistic approach to American art and culture, in which a radical defense of images stands alongside an incisive critique of cultural institutions. Among the 129 essays and reviews collected here are individual writings on internationally important historical figures, such as Rembrandt van Rijn, Tung Ch'i Ch'ang, and Édouard Manet; contemporary American masters like Edward Ruscha and Mike Kelley; and significant artists virtually forgotten today, such as California's Henrietta Shore and Mexico's Hermenegildo Bustos. Articles address politically motivated attacks on the NEA; the sculpture commissioned as the Vietnam Women's Memorial; Ariana Huffington's cynical biography of Picasso; the emergence of Los Angeles, birthplace of America's distinctive suburban sprawl, as a cultural powerhouse; the criticism of Time magazine's Robert Hughes and The New Criterion's Hilton Kramer; and a wide variety of museum exhibitions, both large and small." - Publisher.

The Art Guys; Oldham, Todd, and Dewan, Shalia, and Hickey, Dave
Suits: The Clothes Make the Man: The Art Guys with Todd Oldham
New York Harry N. Abrams, Inc., Publishers 2000 0810941988 / 9780810941984 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine Collectible
Pictorial boards, 107 pp., col. illus.; 28 cm. AS NEW. Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. OVERSIZE! No priority/air, except by special arrangement. "'[The] impudent Pimpernels of post-conceptual performance art.' - Dave Hickey. The Art Guys have done it again! In a project exploring the connection between fashion, art, and commerce that only these irrepressible mavericks could have conceived, the two Houston-based artists spent a year crisscrossing the country wearing suits by designer Todd Oldham on which they had sold advertising space to 56 American companies. Suits captures - through photographs, essays, and an interview with The Art Guys - the story of their often hilarious experiences in their guise as human billboards. As readers discovered in The Art Guys' first Abrams book, Think Twice - the catalogue of their 1995 exhibition at the Contemporary Arts Museum in Houston - their unique brand of subversive humor is a springboard for insightful observations about society and behavior. In Suits, the duo have found a fresh, fun, outlandish way to make us think about our material culture as we never have before. / The ART GUYS are JACK MASSING and MICHAEL GALBRETH, artists who teamed up while students at the University of Houston in 1983. Their work has been shown all over the country in museums, galleries, and other spaces. The Art Guys live and work in Houston. TODD OLDHAM is a well-known contemporary fashion designer. DAVE HICKEY is associate professor of art criticism and theory at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. SHAILA DEWAN is a former art critic for the Houston Press. She has recently joined the staff of The New York Times." - Publisher.
