Bill Viola began producing video works in the early 1970s, and
since then has captivated audiences with his poignant and
beautifully wrought interpretations of human experience. He is
today considered among the most celebrated proponents of the medium
of video art. This is the first monograph to chart Viola's career
in full, covering his education in New York, his earliest major
films of mirages in the Sahara desert and of hospital medical
imagery, his retrospective at the Whitney Museum of American Art in
New York 1997 and his recent installations in Venice, New York,
Tokyo, London and Berlin. Hanhardt outlines the key visual,
literary and spiritual influences on Viola's work and his changing
approach to the medium of film in response to technological
advancement. Woven into the discussion are illustrations of Viola's
most significant works, including Information (1973), The Passing,
(1991), The Greeting (1995), Going Forth by Day (2002) and Martyrs,
the 2014 film commissioned for St Paul's Cathedral in London, as
well as reproductions of Viola's sketches and notebooks that bring
his working process to life. Supplemented by a select chronology,
bibliography and list of public collections, Bill Viola offers a
rare and fascinating account of one of contemporary art's most
powerful creative minds.
