Artists Respond explores how the Vietnam War galvanized American artists and challenged them to transform their art into political statements. The book recalls an era in which artists worked to synthesize the turbulent times and participated in a process of free and open questioning inherent to American civic life. Works in the book include those of Asco, Chris Burden, Judy Chicago, Corita Kent, Leon Golub, David Hammons, Yoko Ono, and Nancy Spero and features painting, sculpture, printmaking, performance and body art, installation, documentary cinema and photography, and conceptualism.
