The Form: 1970-1979

Artist Book. During 1978 and 1979 Melody Sumner Carnahan sent out over 100 copies of the blank form with a brief note to friends, family and artists she admired. Nearly everyone responded without knowing what, if anything, would be done with the completed forms. The result was this unique book containing 100 of the filled-out forms. Some of the better-known respondents included Dick Higgins, John Baldessari, John Cage, Ed Ruscha, Andy Warhol and James Dickey.
