Robert Therrien takes ordinary objects and makes them unfamiliar,
removing functionality to reveal metaphoric associations in them.
Such works include his series of monumental tables and chairs,
giant-sized stacks of pots, plates and bowls, and fifteen-foot fake
beards hanging on their stands, among other works. Expertly
photographed, with an insightful interview by art historian and
theorist Norman Bryson, this is the first major book to examine
Therrien's unique body of work. Planned to coincide with the
exhibition of Therrien's sculptures in May 2008 at Gagosian Gallery
in New York City, this volume is a must-have for anyone interested
in contemporary art including sculpture, painting, drawing, and
photography.
