Schneider, Ira & Korot, Beryl (eds.). VIDEO ART: An Anthology. New York: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich / Raindance Foundation, 1976. First edition, paperback.

Important and increasingly sought-after early survey of video art at the moment the medium emerged as a serious contemporary art form. Compiled by pioneering video artists and theorists Ira Schneider and Beryl Korot, this landmark anthology brings together work and writings from more than 70 artists and contributors active in the formative years of experimental video practice.

Richly illustrated throughout with over 500 black-and-white photographs and documentation of installations, performances, broadcast experiments, and early electronic media works. Includes contributions and projects by an exceptional roster of artists including Vito Acconci, Ant Farm, Nam June Paik, Joan Jonas, Michael Snow, Bill Viola, Woody and Steina Vasulka, Bill Wegman, Stephen Beck, and many others.

An essential reference for collectors of conceptual art, media studies, performance art, experimental film, and 1970s contemporary art ephemera.
