Art at the Edge of the Law

Art at the Edge of the Lawexamines the fine line that artists have often trod between the legal and the legally ambiguous. Frequently the transgression is conceptual rather than directly confrontational, as in Richard Prince's copyright infringements or Gregory Green's pirate station, though no less powerful for that (Barton Lidice Benes's assemblages involving his own HIV-infected blood, for example). Among the artists included are Janine Antoni, Gregory Green, Dennis Oppenheim, Richard Prince, Tom Sachs, Fred Tomaselli and Tom Friedman.Klein, Richard is the author of 'Art at the Edge of the Law' with ISBN 9781888332179 and ISBN 1888332174.
