In 1965, British artist John Jones left the UK with his young family to live in the USA. There they settled in Greenwich Village, New York, and spent several months on a road trip west, seeking out artists and interviewing as many as they could. All revealed something unique about their work and practice. Many spoke of the times they were living in – 1960s America, a political and cultural crucible. Some (Claes Oldenburg and Yoko Ono, for instance) became Jones’s personal friends.
Published here for the first time, this book presents a fascinating selection of Jones’s conversations with those artists, as chosen by his daughter, Nicolette. This is the story of art presented not through the filter of art critics, but from the mouths of the practitioners.
Featuring an array of well-known voices, The American Art Tapes offers an intimate portrait of the American art scene in the mid 1960s – a pivotal moment in twentieth-century art – and the thinking that gave rise to one of the most fertile creative periods in our recent history.

Excellent book, quick delivery
I have ordered from Books About Art several times now. Every time I’ve ordered the books have arrived promptly and in great condition. The choice on the website has been fantastic and I have enjoyed discovering some wonderful books that I haven’t seen elsewhere. This has become my first stop for great art books and the newsletter has been brilliant at recommending new titles.

I love my book and had a wonderful experience with this company. Great selection of books, excellent customer service and quick shipping. Will definitely order again. Thank you!
I had a great experience with Books about art. I managed to get a range of beautiful coffee table books for a very reasonable price. Delivery and service was quick and efficient.
Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Very fast shipping from a reputable courier with tracking and very well packed as requested, which was particularly important given the rarity of the signed book. Book exactly as described and as shown in the photos. I’d happily order again with confidence.
Great books! Fast delivery! I am enjoying reading all the classics I got on Architecture!
I love this site. The books are great, the pricing is unmatched, and the delivery is always prompt. There is nothing more that could be expected.
Cannot fault the quality of the three books I purchased, or the service, which was very prompt. I've only recently discovered Books About Art, and it's a great site for browsing owing to some really interesting titles that I wouldn't normally look for. Also good discounts ... hence I purchased two more books than intended. Will be back for more!
Excellent books! Great packaging and speedy delivery too.
Thanks for subscribing!
