In My View is a collection of reflections by 78 contemporary
artists in which each artist reveals the influence and inspiration
he or she has found in a particular artwork or artist. Among the
artists are John Baldessari, Daniel Buren, Chuck Close, Michael
Craig-Martin, Tacita Dean, Marlene Dumas, Antony Gormley, Susan
Hiller, Thomas Hirschhorn, Candida Hoefer, Vik Muniz, Jorge Pardo,
Raymond Pettibon, Ed Ruscha, Bill Viola and Rachel Whiteread. The
works chosen range from the fifteenth to the mid-twentieth century,
some of them iconic, others lesser known. The accompanying essays
are often very personal, recalling childhood memories and
life-changing moments, and capturing the joy and excitement that
come from encounters with great art. The stories show the profound
connections that exist between artists past and present and offer
an alternative look at art history from the 15th century to the
1960s, through the eyes of contemporary artists themselves. Simon
Grant's introduction identifies themes that emerge and
contextualizes the history and practice of artists looking back at
the work of others.
