NO! Art
NO! Art is a radical avant-garde and anti-art movement that began in New York in 1959 and shocked the smug consumer society.
Boris Lurie , Sam Goodman and Stanley Fisher initially organized exhibitions in the March Gallery, New York, from which the NO! Art Movement emerged, named after a show in the Gertrude Stein gallery. They directed themselves against current trends such as Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art in art and used their work to attack fascism, racism and imperialism in politics.
The NO! Art exhibitions had titles such as Doom Show, Involvement Show, No Show and Vulgar Show and were mostly thematic, the No Sculptures / Shit Show from 1964 then also contained works made from excrement. The Holocaust was a recurring theme for the artists, and they often provocatively called their works “Jewish art”.
In his essay Bull by the Horns , the art critic Harold Rosenberg wrote that “NO! Art reflects the mix of scum and crime with which the mass media floods the minds of our time”.
