Publisher's Synopsis

Blows were dealt. An artist exposed and cut himself, others urinated in glasses, daubed themselves with dirt, and masturbated over the Austrian flag. Meanwhile, music was playing, including the national anthem; someone read pornographic writings. Vienna in the late 1960s: what had started in the artists' homes and studios was now brough out on the grand stage, and taboos were broken in full view of the public. The Vienna Actionism Museum' s first publication is dedicated to the idea of Vienna Actionism in the dynamic context of abstract realism, Fluxus, and the international Happening scene. The book relates the story of one of art history' s most influential art movements, spearheaded by the Actionists Gü nter Brus and Otto Muehl, Hermann Nitsch and Rudolf Schwarzkogler.
