Tylevich, Katya
My Life as a work of Art : The Art World from start to finish
/ Katya Tylevich & Ben Eastham. – London : Laurence King Publishing, 2016
336 p. ; 25 cm.
Why is this art? The world of contemporary art can seem intimidating, absurd, and self-obsessed, while the sums of money exchanged are baffling. Writing on contemporary art is often tortured and confused, ignoring the important questions: What is contemporary art? How does it relate to money and power? How is it made? Will it survive?
To answer these questions, Katya Tylevich and Ben
Eastham offer a series of short biographies on eight great works of
twenty-first century art by Martin Creed, Barry McGee, Camille Henrot, Marina
Abramovic, Philippe Parreno and Pierre Huyghe, Erwin Wurm, Michaël Borremans,
and Gregory Crewdson. They follow these paintings, films, installations,
experiences, experiments, sculptures, and performances through all the key
stages of their existence so far – from the delicate quiet of the studio to the
grand chaos of the art world.
