This monograph provides an overview of the work of Gillian Wearing, one of the UK's most significant Conceptual artists, from the iconic Signs that Say What You Want Them to Say and Not Signs that Say What Someone Else Wants You to Say (1992-93) - a series of photographic portraits of people holding up signs with written personal confessions or thoughts - to her 2010 video Bully, in which the roles of victims and perpetrators, actors and directors, are blurred.

This monograph provides an overview of the work of Gillian Wearing, one of the UK's most significant Conceptual artists, from the iconic Signs that Say What You Want Them to Say and Not Signs that Say What Someone Else Wants You to Say (1992-93) - a series of photographic portraits of people holding up signs with written personal confessions or thoughts - to her 2010 video Bully, in which the roles of victims and perpetrators, actors and directors, are blurred. Also included are new photographic works, two portraits from her ongoing series of iconic photographers, and still lifes of flowers that are inspired by the rich symbolism of seventeenth-century Dutch painting. The publication accompanied a major international survey of the artist's work at Whitechapel Gallery, London; K20 Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, D???sseldorf; and Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich, in 2012-13. It features 100 full-colour illustrations and never-before-published archival material, accompanied by new texts by the exhibition's curators Daniel F. Herrmann, Doris Krystof and Bernhart Schwenk.

Seller's Description:
VG. Quarto. Softcover. Illustrated wraps. 231 pages: illustrations (chiefly color), portraits (chiefly color); 32 cm. "British conceptual artist Gillian Wearing won the Turner Prize in 1997 while still in her mid 30. This comprehensive, copiously illustrated exhibition catalog documents the first major retrospective of her video and photography based works. One of the young British artists, Wearing is represented in important collections ranging from the Tate Modern to the Guggenheim and the Hammer Museum. The key to unlocking the work of Gillian Wearing is found not in art history but in reality television, writes Ben Luke in the London Evening Standard. Not so much the tabloid fodder of the 21st century but the tough stuff from the Sixties and Seventies. Always at the grittier end of the Young British Artists spectrum, she is in essence a documentary film maker and photographer, her work weaving around the line that documentary treads between fact and fiction."--Publisher description.
