Francis Frascina in conversation with Lucy Lippard

Lucy Lippard describes the way that New York’s MoMA displayed Pablo Picasso’s Guernica in the 1960s and why both the painting and the museum became a focal point for anti-Vietnam War protests. She also recalls the activities of the Art Workers’ Coalition (AWC), feminist groups — such as the Ad Hoc Women Artists’ Committee — and aspects of Political Art/Distribution Documentation (PAD/D). Lippard reflects on contemporary art activism in relation to historic precedents from the 1960s onwards.
