From actual notebooks to a blizzard of Post-it notes to the marks left on the walls of a sculptor’s studio, ART WORK collects and explores the physical records of creative thinking. Focusing on creators from a range of disciplines – including photography, dance, sculpture, fiction, and film – each profile includes a generous visual survey of materials generally not meant for public display, as well as essays and notes that together offer an illuminating and inspiring look at the artistic mind at work. Among the artists under consideration: Wil Self, Richard Hell, Joseph Beuys, Richard Serra, Doug & Make Starn, David Wojnarowicz, and Eva Hesse. Illustrations throughout. 192p.
