David Altmejd

In the most comprehensive consideration of the artist’s work to date, the volume includes four essays by a range of writers, who by providing different entry points to Altmejd’s art, animate and engage the rich and diverse ideas that characterize his important practice. The book affords a close and intimate view of the inspired and wholly unique work that brought Altmejd to prominence in the early 2000s, while also providing a sense of the breadth and scope of his polymath-like creativity and inventiveness in work less well-known or chronicled. Essay by Robert Hobbs, with additional contributions by Trinie Dalton, Christopher Glazek, and Kevin McGarry. Edited by Isabel Venero. Published by Damiani, Bologna.Hardcover, 384 pages, English, 2014
