The Fall of The Studio: Artists at Work

'The Fall of the Studio : Artists at Work' is an original collection of essays on the artist's studio as critical theme and institutional construct in the art of the second half of the 20th century and the early 21st century. This book questions the many assumptions underlying popular and international discussions of the so-called post-studio era. Instead of upholding the accepted wisdom or narrative that the artist's studio has fallen, it traces its shifting nature and identity in postwar art production and art criticism, across media and geographies. -- p.
