Published in conjunction with a major retrospective of the work of
Brazilian painter, sculptor and performance artist Lygia Clark,
this publication presents a linear and progressive survey of the
artist's groundbreaking practice. Having trained with modern
masters from the late 1940s to the mid-1950s, Clark was at the
forefront of Constructivist and Neo-Concretist movements in Brazil
and fostered the active participation of the spectator through her
works. Examining Clark's output from her early abstract
compositions to the "biological architectures" and "relational
objects" she created late in her career, this is the most
comprehensive volume on the artist available in English. Three
sections based on key phases throughout her career--Abstraction,
Neo-Concretism and The Abandonment of Art--examine these critical
moments in Clark's production, anchor significant concepts or
constellations of works that mark a definitive step in her work,
and shed light on circumstances in her life as an artist. Featuring
a significant selection of previously unpublished archival texts of
Clark's personal writings, it is a vital source of primary
documentation for twentieth-century art history scholarship.
Elmgreen & Dragset's constructed environments have been celebrated all over the world for their mischievous, cerebral, and accessible nature. This is the first comprehensive presentation of the duo's work, from their early performative pieces in the late 1990s to their most recent public projects Drawing from disciplines as divergent as institutional critique, social politics, performance, design, and architecture, Elmgreen & Dragset's work reconfigures the familiar with characteristic and subversive wit. Their sculptures and installations, also known as 'Powerless Structures', have redefined what it means to experience art - the cover features their work Van Gogh's Ear, a sculpture in the form of a swimming pool, which is located on Fifth Avenue in New York at the entrance to the Rockefeller Center. This book includes all of their most significant projects, from the transformation of New York's Bohen Foundation into a subway station in 2004, to the siting of a fake Prada boutique in the Texan desert in 2005, and the installation of the statue of a child on a rocking horse on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square in 2012. Elmgreen & Dragset is the latest addition to the acclaimed Phaidon Contemporary Artists Series.
