Something else press

Peter Frank´s previously out-of-print annotated bibliography on Something Else Press and Dick Higgins´s achievements as a publisher is back in print. The book is a treasure, long sought by scholars and librarians. Something Else Press was among the first publishers of an entirely new genre. These were intermedia artworks designed for publication. They helped to launch the medium now widely known as "artist books." From 1963 to 1974, Dick Higgins and associates presented over sixty publications. These included major works by Fluxus artists Emmett Williams, Alison Knowles, Nam June Paik, Wolf Vostell, Robert Filliou, George Brecht, Geoff Hendricks, Jackson Mac Low and Bengt af Klintberg. Along with these, the press published projects by such twentieth-century legends as John Cage, Marshall McLuhan, Merce Cunningham, Claes Oldenburg, Hans Richter, Dieter Roth, and Allan Kaprow.
