A must for every Fluxer!!!! (If you don't have it, Barnes
& Noble has it, Amazon would be 3-5 weeks). The Silverman collection,
as far as I know, is the largest collection of Fluxus work in the world,
and it's all chronicled in this book - even includes letters.

It's 615 pages, was reprinted in 1995, and is 2 inches thick and is
a tremendous source of ideas and inspiration, also contains works of some
of the wonderful folks that started this Fluxus site and list. If
your bookshelves are overflowing with art books, as are mine. It
is great when covered appropriately and stacked with the overflow on a
table near the window so that your cat can better soulfully view the world
while absorbing Art through its paws. My cat's perch currently includes
Lucas Samaras, The Art of the Flower, Beyond the Canvas, Fluxus Codex and
The Art of Fixing a Shadow.

Reviews
From Publisher's Weekly - Publishers Weekly
The Fluxus movement melded the tricks of Dada, the economy of Conceptualism and the collectivist spirit of Russian Constructivism to produce deliberately ephemeral and easily forgettable works. Fluxus artists made some witty, subversive objects, like Joe Jones's Violin in Bird Cage . To challenge our conventional notions, they created transparent dresses, a box filled with chromed earthworms, dollar-bill toilet paper, collections of rocks marked by weight, ceiling hatches, fashion handbills, ``Here I Come'' sweatshirts. Claes Oldenburg, Yoko Ono, Willem de Ridder and the group's ``resident genius'' George Maciunas were among the experimenters in the Fluxus orbit. Their inventions are much less revolutionary than the artists seem to think they are, more like private jokes than disturbing works of art. Hendricks is curator of the Lilia and Gilbert Silverman Fluxus collection, which this hefty tome catalogues. Its dictionary format with thousands of entries is well suited to the motley anarchy of this group. (Dec.)
