From Botticelli to Bacon, da Vinci to Damien Hirst, artists have
invested their personalities in the environments in which they have
worked. Although today numerous artists have abandoned the studio
model in favor of new modes of working enabled by new technologies,
the studio space, often containing the visible remains of artistic
ingenuity, toil, and torment, continues to present a window into
the creative soul and a summary of widely varying methods and
approaches.
Sanctuary: Britain s Artists and their Studios is the first
publication in half a century to look behind the scenes at both
artists working lives and their workplaces, encouraging them to
speak, delving into their minds and exploring their methodologies
and personalities. Surveying 120 renowned artists living and
working in Britain today, from the most noteworthy to new, upcoming
talent, Sanctuary offers a visual feast of specially commissioned
photography while following each artist through their working
routines. Tony Cragg, Anthony Gormley, Jenny Saville, Anish Kapoor,
Mark Wallinger, Phyllida Barlow, Jane and Louise Wilson, Thomas
Houseago, Tracey Emin, the Chapman Brothers the list goes on. In
addition to highly individualized interviews with all of the
artists featured in the book, the stage is set by three highly
engaging essays exploring the meanings, configurations, and
personalities of a huge range of studio settings and environments
in the context of the contemporary British art scene."
