Billy Apple


Terry Smith on New Zealand artist Billy Apple (his Sold is above). From Global Conceptualism: Points of Origin, 1950s-1980s:
One of the original conditions of mid-1960s conceptualism is that it was produced in cities such as London and New York...that is, by individuals striving to define an art practice distinctive for travellers between the peripheries and centers of cultural power. Much art of this period came out of a suitcase, or could be made on the spot by people in transit.
