For his first major posthumous survey in the US, the curators decided to produce a catalogue in two “halves\", '1\/2 An Autobiography, Exhibition Catalog' is the second half of this survey. This volume reveals the full scope of the artist’s work through 125 sculptures, costumes, performable paper works, films, ink paintings, ephemera, live performances, documents and previously unpublished material.The spiritually inclined work of American artist James Lee Byars (1932–97) ranged from highly refined objects to extremely minimal performance and events, and books, ephemera and correspondence that he distributed widely among friends and colleagues. Fascinated by death and the afterlife, Byars wrote his 1\/2 Autobiography in 1969 at the age of 37, about half the average male lifespan at the time. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN 9783753304847.
