NEWSPAPER
Ā Published by Steve Lawrence and edited alongside Peter Hujar and Andrew Ullrick,Ā NewspaperĀ was issued in New York City between 1968 and 1971.
A wordless, picture-only periodical that replicated the scale of the New York Times,Ā NewspaperĀ ran for 14 issues and featured the disparate practices of over 40 artists. With an editorial focus on placing appropriated material alongside new artworks, the periodical sought to codify a visual language of high and low culture that represented contemporary society in the late 1960s. While largely overlooked in art-historical discourse,Ā NewspaperĀ showcased many of the most revered artists working in the United States at the time, as well as an emerging coterie of queer artists.
The mid to late sixties was a flourishing period for artists experimenting with new media formats such as books, records, and magazines to create or distribute their work.Ā NewspaperĀ was one of the first artist-published tabloids of its era, preceding Andy WarholāsĀ InterviewĀ and Les Levineās Culture Hero, both of which debuted in 1969. However, in contrast to other tabloids,Ā NewspaperĀ focused strictly on images.
At a time when photography was not being exhibited regularly in galleries,Ā NewspaperĀ provided an alternative exhibition space for the medium and some of the eraās greatest photographers. The publicationās large size and unbound format encouraged readers to take it apart and hang its pages, which was howĀ NewspaperĀ was installed at the Museum of Modern Artās influential Information show in 1970.
All issues ofĀ NewspaperĀ are collected and reprinted here for the first time.
Artists include: Diane Arbus, Art Workers Coalition, Richard Avedon, Clyde Baines, Sheyla Baykal, Peter Beard, Brigid Berlin, Richard Bernstein, Ann Douglas, Paul Fisher, Maurice Hogenboom, Peter Hujar, Scott Hyde, Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Ray Johnson, Edwin Klein, Yayoi Kusama, Gerald Laing, Dorothea Lange, Steve Lawrence, Jeff Lew, Roy Lichtenstein, Frank Mercado, Duane Michals, Jack Mitchell, Forrest āFrostyā Myers, Billy Name, Stephen Paley, Warner Pearson, Warner Piepke, Charles Pratt, Joseph Raffael, Mel Ramos, Lilo Raymond, Ruspoli-Rodriguez, Lucas Samaras, Alan Saret, Bill Schwedler, Leni Sinclair, Norman Snyder, Elizabeth Staal, Stanley Stellar, Terry Stevenson, Paul Thek, Andrew Ullrick, Andy Warhol, William T. Wiley and May Wilson
