Six Feet Under collects an international array of contemporary and
historical artworks, some dating back to the sixteenth century,
that take on the topic of death and decay. In art, death is a
universal subject. In contemporary art, two extremes can be
determined: art either reclaims the rituals of death--which have
strayed from organized religion to professional service providers
and the media--and then re-presents or reconstructs them; or, it
repositions the unwelcome corpse back into our field of vision,
reminding us in a direct way that our physical existence continues
after death. Gathering work across continents and centuries, but
focusing mainly on contemporary art, this volume focuses on key
themes like the burial of children (from Albert Anker to Teresa
Margolles); cadavers (from Felix Vallotton to Andres Serrano); the
death of the artist (from Ferdinand to Gianni Motti); and coffins
(from Ferdinand Hodler to Joe Scanlan).
