Paul McCarthy: Videos 1970-1997 Published by Walther König, Köln. Essays by Yilmaz Dziewior, Ulrike Groos, Johann Lothar Schröder and Kathrin Sauerländer. In his performances, installations, videos and sculptures, Paul McCarthy has deconstructed, muddied, insulted and made a very deliberate mess of American mythology, from Heidi and Pinocchio to Santa Claus and Rocky. His videos, represented here through annotation and stills, are an indispensable documentary element of his performances. Over 50 works are included, plus a biography, bibliography and selected exhibition list.
