The present volume is the second part of the 40yearsvideoart.de restoration project by the German Federal Cultural Foundation. The project succeeded in retrieving a large number of videos from the sixties and seventies, believed lost, from artists, estates, and museum storerooms; restoring them; and, in many cases, presenting them again for the first time in over thirty years.
This volume features over fifty early and largely unknown videos by and with artists such as Joseph Beuys, Valeska Gert, and Klaus Rinke. It offers an illustrated history of video techniques and features discussions on modern restoration practices. In addition, texts by experts—artists, curators, art theorists, and media scholars—as well as a comprehensive annotated bibliography provide profound insight into one of the most influential genres in twentieth- and twenty-first-century art.
