As an art critic, curator, and activist, Lucy Lippard has been one of the most influential voices in contemporary art for over 50 years. Her many books include the seminal work Six Years: The Dematerialization of the Art Object (1973), which catalogued various and varied practices in the then-emerging field of conceptual art; From the Center: Feminist Essays on Women's Art (1976); Eva Hesse (1976); The Lure of the Local: Sense of Place in a Multicentered Society (1997); and On the Beaten Track: Tourism, Art, and Place (1999). Deeply engaged in progressive art and politics, Lippard helped to found Art Workers’ Coalition, a group that advocated for museum reform, and the Heresies Collective, a coalition of feminist artists and thinkers. With Sol Lewitt, she also founded Printed Matter, the world’s leading non-profit organization dedicated to artists' books and related publications. Her talk at Ohio State is part of the Curatorial Studies Series organized by the OSU History of Art Department and Art Department.
