Anthony McCall
| September 12, 2007

Anthony McCall’s "Line Describing a Cone" has long been a classic of American avant-garde cinema, but because it was most often screened in dusty Soho lofts in the past, the piece was little known to a wider audience. The inclusion of Line Describing a Cone in the Whitney Museum of American Art exhibition “Into the Light: the Projected Image in American Art, 1964–1977” has opened McCall’s work to a great deal of interest both in America and abroad. While curators are only now beginning to mine the history of the projected image in art, McCall continues to be one of the most important of the Post-Minimalist artists to use projected film.
