James Lee Byars. 1/2 An Autobiography Vol. 2 Exhibition Catalogue
Famous for his performances "The Death of James Lee Byars" and "The Perfect Smile," and for sculptural works that have been described as "austere and rococo, understated and flamboyant," James Lee Byars (1932-1997) was a legend in his lifetime and an enduringly influential artist since his death at the age of 65. His preferred materials were characterized by strong colors--black, red, gold, pink--and by a sensuous luxuriance, as in his use of folded Japanese paper or silk.

Im full of Byars
James Lee Byars (1932-1997) is one of the most unusual and colourful characters of the 20th century art world. Moving between America, Japan and Europe, the artist - and not least thanks to his friendship with curator Harald Szeemann - had a very special relationship to Bern: it was a place where he could withdraw, and where fantastic performances and exhibitions in private and public spaces took place.

Published on the occasion of the exhibition Im full of Byars at Kunstmuseum Bern, Switzerland, September 2008 - February 2009.English and German text.

He was then 37, about half the average male lifespan at the time, and accordingly thought it appropriate to write his "1/2 autobiography." Byars' art ranged from highly refined objects to extremely minimal performance and events, and books, ephemera and correspondence that he distributed widely among friends and colleagues. Today, more than 15 years after his death, assessments of his art must negotiate Byars' performance of his charismatic self in his life and art. For his first major posthumous survey in the ...
