520 8 $aIn this expansive and vigorous survey of the Houston art scene of the 1970s and 1980s, author Pete Gershon describes the city's emergence as a locus for the arts, fueled by a boom in oil prices and by the arrival of several catalyzing figures, including museum director James Harithas and sculptor James Surls. Harithas was a fierce champion for Texan artists during his tenure as the director of the Contemporary Arts Museum-Houston (CAM). He put Texas artists on the map, but his renegade style proved too confrontational for the museum's benefactors, and after four years, he wore out his welcome.0After Harithas's departure from the CAM, the chainsaw-wielding Surls established the Lawndale Annex as a largely unsupervised outpost of the University of Houston art department. Inside this dirty, cavernous warehouse, a new generation of Houston artists discovered their identities and began to flourish. Both the CAM and the Lawndale Annex set the scene for the emergence of small, downtown, artist-run spaces, including Studio One, the Center for Art and Performance, Midtown Arts Center, and DiverseWorks.
