This new interpretation of the structure and meaning of the Happenings produced by
Allan Kaprow (1927-2006) and Claes Oldenburg (b. 1929) in the late 1950s and 1960s
sheds light on the context, theoretical framework, and working practice unique to
this groundbreaking artistic form. Drawing on extensive archival research and including
never-before-published drawings by Oldenburg, Robert E. Haywood describes the dialogue
- at times contentious - between these two artists about the direction of the Happenings
and modern art in general. Through a comprehensive analysis of these often overlooked
works, it becomes clear that the Happenings - born in the midst of Cold War tensions
and an increased uneasiness with the direction society was taking - challenged the
traditional definitions of art in innovative new ways and were a critical component
in the development of the art of the 20th century
