Artists II is the second volume of Jason Schmidt's ongoing
photographic documentation of today's most significant artists.
From young to old, emerging to career peaking, world famous or
as-of-yet-known, the creative forces that the New York-based
photographer has managed to capture over a period of 12 years has
come to serve as perhaps the most incisive look into the art world
as it stands today. Artists II captures 166 artists, including John
Baldessari, Ai Weiwei, Glenn Ligon and Cindy Sherman, in their
studios or work environments and the resultant images reveal the
context in which the art was made or conceived and the artists in
their most intimate moment--in the process of creation. A text by
each artist in their own words accompanies each photograph: some
are literal descriptions of the encounter, others are poetic or
enigmatic; each is a window into their artistic methods and
perspectives. The strength of this artists series lies not solely
in its individual compositions but in its value as a comprehensive
archive of contemporary artistic practice. Situated between
portraiture and landscape, Schmidt's photographs show art and
artist in a constant moment of transformation.
