Summary
"Slant Steps explores the vital role of the art world's semi-periphery, communities located between the provinces and the metropole, with a focus on the postwar Bay Area. Whether extending to international exchanges or shrinking to local coteries, these circles helped develop Process, Funk, and Conceptual art, alongside strains of the counterculture as they forged new directions for the art world and its members. Merging sociologies of art with the tradition of social art history, the book shows how the perspectives and values of the semi-periphery have had an enduring impact upon art practices into the present, above all in the field of art pedagogy"--
