In mythology, art history and religious iconography, the apple has
been imbued with every imaginable human desire. It has been a
symbol of love and beauty, of temptation, of immortality, peace,
death and poison, of sin and redemption. From Adam and Eve to the
trials of Heracles, to the art of Cezanne and Magritte, to Newton's
theory of gravity, the death of Alan Turing and the growth of Steve
Jobs, the apple resonates throughout western culture. It is Snow
White, William Tell, it is The Beatles and the Viking gods, it is
even the American frontier. Now, Barnaby Barford offers a
celebration of this fruit, exploring its impact on the history of
humankind. Apples have become a recent feature of Barford's
eye-catching installations, whether ripe and healthy or in a state
of decay. The Apple is Everything guides the reader through
Barford's work and ideology.
