University of Minnesota Press, 1998. 8vo. Paperback. XIII, 349 pp. With bw illustrations. Pencil notes in first part of book. Overall a very good copy.

First edition, softcover: "An examination of the social and cultural significance of body art (...) The past few years have seen an explosion of interest in body art, in which the artist's body is integral to the work of art. With the revoking of NEA funding for such artists as Karen Finley, Tim Miller, and others, public awareness and media coverage of body-oriented performances have increased. Yet the roots of body art extend to the 1960s and before. In this definitive book, Amelia Jones explores body art projects from the 1960s and 1970s and relates their impact to the work of body artists active today, providing a new conceptual framework for defining postmodernism in the visual arts. Jones begins with a discussion of the shifting intellectual terrain of the 1950s and 1960s, focusing on the work of Ana Mendieta. Moving to an examination of the reception of Jackson Pollock's "performative" acts of painting, she argues that Pollock is a pivotal figure between modernism and postmodernism. The book continues with explorations of Vito Acconci and Hannah Wilke, whose practices exemplify a new kind of performance that arose in the late 1960s, one that represents a dramatic shift in the conception of the artistic subject. Jones then surveys the work of a younger generation of artists -- including Laurie Anderson, Orlan, Maureen Connor, Lyle Ashton Harris, Laura Aguilar, and Bob Flanagan -- whose recent work integrates technology and issues of identity to continue to expand the critique begun in earlier body art projects. Embracing an exhilarating mix of methodologies and perspectives (including feminism, queer theory, philosophy, psychoanalysis, and literary theory), this rigorous and elegantexamination of body art provides rich historical insight and essential context that rethinks the parameters of postmodern culture.ect continues to confirm the opinion of many that Jones is the most perceptive and original voice in contemporary art history, theory, and criticism to have emerged in a generation".

Particular Books, 2014. Large 8vo softcover. 514 pp. Fine clean very good copy. Women in Clothes is a book unlike any other. It is essentially a conversation among hundreds of women of all nationalities - famous, anonymous, religious, secular, married, single, young, old -, on the subject of clothing, and how the garments we put on every day define and shape our lives. It began with a survey. The editors composed a list of more than fifty questions designed to prompt women to think more deeply about their personal style. Writers, activists, and artists including Cindy Sherman, Kim Gordon, Kalpona Akter, Sarah Nicole Prickett, Tavi Gevinson, Miranda July, Roxane Gay, Lena Dunham, and Molly Ringwald answered these questions with photographs, interviews, personal testimonies, and illustrations.Even our most basic clothing choices can give us confidence, show the connection between our appearance and our habits of mind, express our values and our politics, bond us with our friends, or function as armor or disguise. They are the tools we use to reinvent ourselves and to transform how others see us. Women in Clothes embraces the complexity of women’s style decisions, revealing the sometimes funny, sometimes strange, always thoughtful impulses that influence our daily ritual of getting dressed.

Gyldendal, 1948. 161 pp. Hft. Med dedikation til "Pips" fra "Pheno", som må være forfatterinden selv. "Grete Bendix var datter af komponisten, professor Victor Emanuel Bendix og Dagmar Hansine Raven (født Lebrecht) var elev af Adam Poulsen, August Liebman og Soffy Walleen - og debuterede som skuespillerinde på Det ny Teater med titelrollen i Svend Rindoms "Wienerbarnet" den 16. marts 1923. Rollen, der var som skabt til hende skulle på en næsten skæbnesvanger måde blive hendes største succes. Erindringsbogen "Lykkelige Barndom" er skrevet ud fra barnets perspektiv og sprog.
