The world has in Joe Brainard a semi-secret
maverick hero who will win new friends indefinitely
one by one.
--Peter Schjeldahl |
From 1963 to 1978 Joe Brainard created
more than one hundred works of art
that appropriated the classic comic strip
character Nancy and sent her into an astonishing
variety of spaces, all electrified
by the incongruity of her presence.
The Nancy Book collects more than fifty
of these images for the first time and
features collaborations with luminary poets Bill Berkson, Ted Berrigan,
Robert Creeley, Frank Lima, Frank
O'Hara, Ron Padgett and James Schuyler,
as well as original essays by Ron
Padgett and Ann Lauterbach.
