The Lure Of The Local Summary

The Lure Of The Local: Senses of Place in a Multicentered Society by Lucy Lippard

World-famous, influential art and cultural writer Lucy R. Lippard weaves together cultural studies, history, geography and contemporary art to provide a fascinating exploration of our multiple senses of place. Expanding her reach far beyond the confines of the art world, she discusses issues of community, land use and how landscape affects our lives. This important classic work has long been out of print, and the original paperback was well received by critics and readers alike. Interesting and thoughtful... A solid contribution to popular geography.' - Kirkus'

The Lure Of The Local Reviews

Interesting and thoughtful. . . . Her critiques are often delightfully acidic. . . . A solid contribution to popular geography. -Kirkus Reviews

Lippard has signaled the highest political hopes of art, from her early embrace of '60s conceptual art to her '70s support of feminism to her careful documentation in the '80s of the art of America's ethnic communities. . . . [The Lure of the Local] arrives at an auspicious time, as interest in community history is on the rise throughout the country. . . . An encyclopedic study of the art of community. -The Oregonian

An excellent reference guide to recent and historical place-oriented art and activism. -Preservation
