Tiggy Maconochie: Blacks and Bays, Dapples and Greys, Gebunden

Klappentext

A sweeping tribute to the horse's timeless allure, this collection reveals how artists across centuries---from ancient sculpture to contemporary photography to painting---have drawn inspiration from its grace, strength, and mystery, shaping the course of art and culture.

In a refreshingly original book, author and curator Tiggy Maconochie connects humanity with the horse through a contemporary visual lens, featuring artists not typically known for horse-inspired work. Combining performance art, poetry, video stills, three-dimensional pieces, as well as painting and photography, she tells the stories behind each work, linking them across nine themes. The book includes works by a diverse range of artists, including Marina Abramović, Maurizio Cattelan, Richard Prince, Martin Parr, Man Ray, Lucien Freud, David Smith, Nan Goldin, Ugo Rondinone, and Georgia O'Keeffe. The foreword is a standalone piece by Tracey Emin, who has also contributed visually through film stills.
