The changing nature--and place--of art in America is the subject of this article by Kurt which appeared in the April, 1967 edition of Art International magazine. "...it comes as no surprise," writes Kurt, "that our attention and energies are shifting from painting (associated with our visual, literate, mechanical world) to sculpture, music and architecture (associated with the tactile and auditory modes of total, instantaneous perception characteristic of our electric/electronic age)." He sees this McLuhanesque shift in the work of sculptor Carl Andre, with whom he begins his essay, but then moves on to matters of art theory and the work of Iain Baxter.
