Author Description

"Published to coincide with a major exhibition of his work at the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin, Michael Craig-Martin is a retrospective of the artist's entire career. Including everything from his early student work to the very latest site-specific installations, it is the most complete monograph on Craig-Martin ever published. Critic, author, and broadcaster Richard Cork, one of the first to write on Craig-Martin's work in the early 1970s, considers the whole range of his output and its importance to the course of recent British Art." "With an extensive account of the artist's life and work and hundreds of colour photographs throughout, Michael Craig-Martin is the definitive book on one of the most popular artists today and essential reading for anyone interested in the development of art in Britain over the past four decades."--Jacket.
