Fox (1943-2008) was one of the first proponent-practitioners and sibylline maniacs behind Conceptual Art, notably in its video and performance art forms, creating work that was movingly influenced by his battle with Hodgkin’s disease. This volume comes to us directly from the library of one of his first influential advocates, Brenda Richardson, to whom Fox inscribed this copy at his residence in Naples.

Richardson, whose curatorial career began at the Berkeley Museum of Art on the West Coast, would eventually serve as Chief Curator at the Baltimore Museum of Art, and came to be viewed as one of the most formidable pillars and advocates of modernism on the East Coast museum scene.
