Artists have worked from home for many reasons, including care
duties, financial or political constraints, or availability and
proximity to others. Exploring how the home became a distinct site
of artistic practice from the beginning of the 20th century, and
the meaning of 'home' for artists today, this book explores the
traditions and developments of the home studio as concept and
space. Using examples from across Europe and the Anglophone world
between the mid-20th century and the present, each chapter
considers the different circumstances for working at home, the
impact on the creative lives of the artists, their identities as
artists and on the work itself, and how, sometimes, these were
projected and promoted through photographs and the media. The book
comprises full-length chapters by artists, architects, art and
design historians, each of whom bring different perspectives to the
issues, interwoven with short interviews with artists to enrich and
broaden the debates. At a time when individual relationships to
home environments have been radically altered, The Artist at Home
considers why some artists in previous decades either needed to or
chose to work from home, producing work of vitality and integrity.
Tracing this long tradition into the present, the book will provide
a deeper understanding of how the home studio has affected the
practices and identity of artists working in different countries,
and in different circumstances, from the mid-20th century to the
present.
