Through description and analysis of the balancing and intersection of gender in the collaborative artist couples of Marina Abramović and Ulay, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, and Christo and Jeanne-Claude, I make evident the separation between their public lives and their private lives, an element that manifests itself in unique and contrasting ways for each couple. I study the link between gendered negotiations in these heterosexual artist couples and this division, and correlate this relationship to the evidence of problematic gender dynamics in the artworks and collaborations.

This thesis is a selective history and critical analysis of collaborations and orthodox models of authorship in international art after 1960. Artistic collaboration in the late 1960s and during the 1970s occupied a special position: redefinitions of art and of artistic collaboration intersected. The thesis focuses on artistic collaborations that came to notice in the 1970s, locating them within the evolution of post-object art, conceptual art, installations, Earth Art, Art and Body Art.

Bibliografická citace Věra a Vladimír Janouškovi. Zamyšlení nad manželskými uměleckými páry. [rukopis] : diplomová práce / Martina Váňová; vedoucí práce: PhDr. Milan Pech, Ph.D. Praha, 2015. 132 s. Abstract In the generation of Czech artists born between 1920 - 1935 occurs a particular phenomenon - artist couples. After the Second World War there was a surprisingly high number of artists contracting a life-long partnerships. This generation influenced primarily the Czech art scene in the 1960's. Most of these marriages lasted even in the upcoming difficult times and became a great support in the era of so called normalization in 1970's and 1980's. The goal of the thesis is to observe the work of art of two prominent Czech artists - Věra Janoušková and Vladimír Janoušek - within the context of their marital life. It will focus on the extent of their mutual impact on each other and it will deal with the possibilities of autonomy of the work developed alongside the artist-partner. The diploma thesis will show their work in the times of their marital life and even after partner's death. Keywords Věra a Vladimír Janouškovi, Czech scupture, artist couples, independence, influence
