During a career spanning over a decade, Bay Area artist LG Williams has created an extraordinary body of work. His artworks challenge conventional notions of art in their visual and formal inventions, while their seemingly playful, humorous content frequently masks sophisticated, critical elements. LG has created a large number of challenging artworks that are unsurpassed by those of his young contemporaries. This volume features lavish black and white illustrations of the artist’s artwork and studio.This volume is a photographic document of a Williams performance / action in a book. It is a necessary volume for anyone interested in this important artist's work. It also provides valuable resource material for art historians, and scholars, regarding the artist and West Coast American Avant-garde Art in the late 20th and early 21st century. Since the early 1990’s LG Williams has staged "actions," ritualistic performances meant to produce the unity of art and life, which Williams repeatedly proclaimed and sought. Besides his writings, drawings, paintings, sculptures, press releases, objects and teaching, these actions are considered by many to be the most mysterious, most elusive part of the artist’s immense body of work.
