Krátky popis
A captivating tour of the bookshelves of ten leading artists,
exploring the intricate connections between reading, artistic
practice, and identity Taking its inspiration from Walter
Benjamin's seminal 1931 essay, the Unpacking My Library series
charts a spirited exploration of the reading and book collecting
practices of today's leading thinkers. Artists and Their Books
showcases the personal libraries of ten important contemporary
artists based in the United States (Mark Dion, Theaster Gates,
Wangechi Mutu, Ed Ruscha, and Carrie Mae Weems), Canada (Janet
Cardiff and George Bures Miller), and the United Kingdom (Billy
Childish, Tracey Emin, and Martin Parr). Through engaging
interviews, the artists discuss the necessity of reading and the
meaning of books in their lives and careers. This is a book about
books, but it even more importantly highlights the role of
literature in shaping an artist's self-presentation and persona.
Photographs of each artist's bookshelves present an evocative
glimpse of personal taste, of well-loved and rare volumes, and of
the individual touches that make a bookshelf one's own. The
interviews are accompanied by ",top ten", reading lists assembled
by each artist, an introduction by Jo Steffens, and Marcel Proust's
seminal essay ",On Reading.",
