Video Art: An Anthology
New York City: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1975
ISBN 0-15-193632-3
"Seventy-three artists have contributed two-page spreads expressing, evoking, or explaining some aspect of their work, many with photographs from their tapes; twenty-two critics and video participants have written articles reviewing some of the major tapes, facilities, and installations, discussing video's history, and speculating on its role as an instrument of change — in society as a whole as well as in the art world." (From book's blurb.)
