This search brought up a lot of interesting links http://www.google.com/search?q=kaprow+happenings&btnG=Google+Search including a review of Kaprow's great collection "Essays on the Blurring of Art and Life" by George Leonard (another favorite of mine). http://128.138.144.71/abr/leonard.html To contact Kaprow, one might try via U of Calafornia, San Diego visual arts department. Perhaps they could forward inquiries to him. I believe he's retired from his teaching position there... cheers, George allen bukoff wrote: > > Can anyone out there help this person 1. get more info about Allan Kaprow, > 2. make direct contact with Allan Kaprow? > > A side note about Allan Kaprow and "Happenings" on the internet.
