Among all the artists with a beat sensibility who began working in the post war period, George Herms has proved the most durable. His witty, resonant assemblages, produced over a 45 year period, have enriched and furthered the Duchampian tradition of found-object art in America. From the start the clarity, humor and generosity in his work set him apart from his peers, symbolized by the fact that he signs his work "L" "O" "V" "E". |
