This is a complete illustrated survey of Performance art from the 1960s to the present. The book presents Performance art from its first emergence in the work of Yves Klein, Piero Manzoni and Happenings, to the work of Hermann Nitsch, Joseph Beuys and the extraordinary opera spectacles of Robert Wilson; and from the breakthrough performances by Laurie Anderson that brought this art form to a wider public, to the theatricality of works by Pina Bausch.

Juxtaposing starling images and texts, this book presents for the first time the broadest panorama of this multi-faceted artform. From Yves Klein and Piero Manzoni to Joseph Beuys, Robert Wilson, Meredith Monk, Laurie Anderson, Pina Bausch, Matthew Barney, Bill T. Jones, Gilbert and George, Mona Hatoum and many others, with scores of works from Europe, the Americas, Japan and Australia, this is a landmark publication indispensable to all those interested in visual culture.
