Summary
  • "Multiplied: Edition MAT and the Transformable Work of Art, 1959-1965 examines the rise of multiples and the concurrent surge of interest in kinetic art in the post-World War II era. Focusing on Edition MAT, the pioneering publishing enterprise of the Swiss artist Daniel Spoerri, this book brings together more than 100 works by an international and cross-generational network of artists associated with kinetic and Op art, Nouveau Réalisme, Nouvelle Tendance, Fluxus, Pop art, and Zero"--Page 4 of cover.
  • "The catalog presents the entirety of Edition MAT's three collections--from 1959, 1964, and 1965--with three scholarly essays and biographical entries on each of the participating artists that illuminate this unique constellation of practitioners ... An appendix of historical documents, many translated here for the first time, includes artist interviews and manifestos, offering rare insight into the aesthetic agendas of this innovative program"--From publisher's website, viewed March 12, 2020.
