Out of Bounds: The Collected Writings of Marcia Tucker
The first anthology to assemble the writings of the groundbreaking art historian, critic, and curator Marcia Tucker. These influential, hard-to-obtain textsâmany of which have never before been publishedâby Marcia Tucker, founding director of New Yorkâs New Museum, showcase her lifelong commitment to pushing the boundaries of curatorial practice and writing while rethinking inherited structures of power within and outside the museum. The volume brings together the only comprehensive bibliography of Tuckerâs writing and highlights her critical attention to artâs relationship to broader culture and politics.
Â
The book is divided into three sections: monographic texts on a selection of the visionary artists whom Tucker championed, among them Bruce Nauman, Joan Mitchell, Richard Tuttle, and Andres Serrano; exhibition essays from some of the formative group shows she organized, such as Anti-Illusion: Procedures/Materials (1969) and Bad Girls (1994), which expanded the canons of curating and art history; and other critical works, including lectures, that interrogated museum practice, inequities of the art world, and institutional responsibility. These texts attest to Tuckerâs tireless pursuit of questions related to difference, marginalization, access, and ethics, illuminating her significant impact on contemporary art.
