Lucy R. Lippard's famous book, itself resembling an exhibition, is now brought full circle in an exhibition (and catalog) resembling her book.

“Conceptual art, for me, means work in which the idea is paramount and the material form is secondary, lightweight, ephemeral, cheap, unpretentious and/or 'dematerialized.'”
—Lucy R. Lippard, Six Years

In 1973 the critic and curator Lucy R. Lippard published Six Years, a book with possibly the longest subtitle in the bibliography of art: The dematerialization of the art object from 1966 to 1972: a cross-reference book of information on some esthetic boundaries: consisting of a bibliography into which are inserted a fragmented text, art works, documents, interviews, and symposia, arranged chronologically and focused on so-called conceptual or information or idea art with mentions of such vaguely designated areas as minimal, anti-form, systems, earth, or process art, occurring now in the Americas, Europe, England, Australia, and Asia (with occasional political overtones) edited and annotated by Lucy R. Lippard. Six Years, sometimes referred to as a conceptual art object itself, not only described and embodied the new type of art-making that Lippard was intent on identifying and cataloging, it also exemplified a new way of criticizing and curating art. Nearly forty years later, the Brooklyn Museum takes Lippard's celebrated experiment in curated concatenation as a template, turning a book that resembled an exhibition into an exhibition materializing the ideas in her book.

The artworks and essays featured in this publication recall the thrill that was tangible in Lippard's original documentation, reminding us that during the late sixties and early seventies all possible social and material parameters of art (making) were played with, worked over, inverted, reduced, expanded, and rejected. By tracing Lippard's own activities in those years, the book also documents the early blurring of boundaries among critical, curatorial, and artistic practices.

With more than 200 images of work by dozens of artists (printed in color throughout), this book brings Lippard's curatorial experiment full circle.

Very very hot bed sheet.
Color: Grey, Size: King
This is the hottest bed sheet I have ever had in my life. Washed it, tried it out for a few nights and every single night we were sweating like crazy. Like soaking wet. Even to the point that we thought our AC was broken or something. Seems to be made good, but it's way to hot to sleep with.

Smooth and soft
Color: Grey, Size: Queen
Comfortable in current 45F cold weather. It can fit my 10’ thick memory foam mattress. The elastic straps help to fix position.

Only a bottom sheet
Color: Grey, Size: Queen
I purchased this sheet, assuming it was a set of sheets, and after I received the order, I realized it was only the fitted bottom sheet. Since I was looking for a full set, I returned it. It seemed to be good quality and was soft to the touch.

Love this sheet!
Color: Olive Green, Size: Queen
Love this fitted sheet! It keeps me cool at night, no sweating. I spilled water on it and it dried quickly (moisture wicking), so that was proof it does what it says. Definitely buy more!

Highly recommend for excellent quality at an affordable price
Color: White, Size: Queen
I usually buy my bed sheets from high end bedding stores, but I decided to give these a try because of high reviews and the sale. I am not disappointed. These sheets are high quality Egyptian cotton with attention to details. They have deep pockets, are very soft, thick cotton and wash and dry nicely with very little lint in the dryer screen.
