It features a range of energetic sculptural forms that seem to ooze, undulate, blossom, erupt and sprawl across gallery spaces. This richly illustrated hardback book explores the artists and their work in detail, and includes essays by Hayward Gallery Director Ralph Rugoff and art historian Natalie Rudd which cite the artists' work within the context of postminimalism, and explore formal and material innovation in sculpture across the past half century. Texts on each artist by a range of writers will accompany a broad-ranging selection of images.   Includes the works of 21 international artists, namely Ruth Asawa, Nairy Baghramian, Phyllida Barlow, Lynda Benglis, Michel Blazy, Paloma Bosque, Olaf Brzeski, Choi Jeong Hwa, Tara Donovan, DRIFT, Eva Fabregas, Holly Hendry, EJ Hill, Marguerite Humeau, Jean-Luc Moulene, Senga Nengudi, Ernesto Neto, Martin Puryear, Matthew Ronay, Teresa Solar Abboud and Franz West.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43717846270130,"sku":"9781853323775","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781853323775_096c1ba5-ac54-4ddf-9ee6-6f0087a9dcd1.jpg?v=1786029432"},{"product_id":"9781853323812","title":"Linder","description":"Major survey of the artistic provocateur and trailblazer Linder (b.1954, Liverpool). Offers an illuminating overview of the past 50 years of this iconic artist's career, exploring the full range of Linder’s thought-provoking work and underscoring the experimental and feminist impulses of her practice. Linder first emerged in the late 1970s as a prominent figure within the dynamic landscapes of punk and post-punk music; her photomontage on the cover of Buzzcocks’ single ‘Orgasm Addict’ in 1977 became an iconic image of the punk scene. Following her punk period, Linder went on to become an internationally recognised artist renowned for her multifaceted practice. Her journey has been one of relentless exploration, venturing into realms as varied as fashion, music, performance, perfume, textiles, and film. At the heart of her explorations lies a profound engagement with the poetics of protest, where artistic inquiry intertwines seamlessly with cultural critique.   Throughout her career, Linder has used photomontage as a potent instrument for dissecting and reshaping the portrayal and commercialisation of gender norms and sexual identity. Drawing from source materials extracted from magazines of the late twentieth century, she exposes the weighty stereotypes imposed on both ends of the gender spectrum: automobiles, DIY culture and pornography for men; fashion and domesticity for women. In addition to using found images from magazines, Linder has also used photographs of herself taking on various feminine personae, which navigate concepts of personal invention and the performative dimensions of identity. Her art is informed by a rich tapestry of influences spanning religious art, surrealism, mysticism, and the ever-evolving landscape of social media.   This volume – with new essays by Rachel Thomas, Marina Warner and Chris Kraus, and an interview with the artist by Gillian Fox – accompanies a major touring exhibition.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54926393835893,"sku":"9781853323812","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781853323812_c31bbd61-0897-4194-a787-0c5f8c9ea558.jpg?v=1786029435"},{"product_id":"9781853323805","title":"Haegue Yang","description":"First major UK survey of the internationally celebrated artist Haegue Yang (b.1971, Seoul), known for her dramatic sculptural installations.

'Strachan’s work is filled with astonishments and surprise.' - The best art and architecture shows to visit in 2024, The Guardian  This major monograph will focus on the highly inventive ways in which the Bahamian artist Tavares Strachan (b. 1979) has engaged with questions of cultural visibility and social inequity, through painting, sculpture and installation. A new interview with Ralph Rugoff and essays by Ekow Eshun and Maggie Cao will examine three key areas of Tavares’ work, each of which turns upside down conventional models of knowledge and education: 'Exploration' deals with the artist’s own role as an explorer as well as works that pay homage to pioneers who navigated unknown ideas and uncharted territories. 'Invisibilty' is centred on Strachan’s The Encyclopedia of Invisibility – an ongoing, 3,000-page publication and related sculptures and paintings that spotlight figures forgotten by history. 'Remapping' presents recent works that imaginatively remap the lost cultural connections between African diaspora people and traditional African societies. Designed in close collaboration with the artist, the book also includes an Index of Characters, Chronology and Exhibition History.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308786561397,"sku":"9781853323782","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781853323782_70321783-3f21-4183-bc21-e54c60d4c7be.jpg?v=1786029433"},{"product_id":"9781853323836","title":"Gilbert \u0026 George: 21st Century Pictures","description":"Book accompanying a landmark exhibition from the pioneering London-based artists. Discover the duo’s pictures from the past 25 years, with vibrant, large-scale images that centre the human experience and reflect their motto, ‘Art for All’.   Gilbert \u0026amp; George are some of the most iconic artists to have ever lived, with their monumental commitment to being ‘living sculptures’ and their motto of ‘art for all’ continuing without fail over the last five decades. Their artistic practice spans charcoal sketches to sculptural interventions; however, it is their expansive, vividly coloured pictures that have become globally renowned both inside and outside the contemporary art landscape. Characterised by concise, often single-word titles emblazoned in bold capital letters, each picture becomes a stage for the exploration of societal norms and cultural taboos. From the mundane to the illicit, Gilbert \u0026amp; George’s practice encompasses the full spectrum of human existence, transcending traditional boundaries of taste and propriety.  21ST CENTURY PICTURES will showcase pictures across key series made since 2000, such as NEW HORNY PICTURES (2001), THE LONDON PICTURES (2011), THE BEARD PICTURES (2016) and their more recent CORPSING PICTURES (2022). Through these works, audiences are invited to explore contemporary society through the complexities of hope, fear, sex, religion, corruption, violence, patriotism, addiction, ghosts, death and more.  This book chronicles those works in full colour and includes an introduction by Rachel Thomas, an in-depth essay by Michael Bracewell and a new interview with the artists by Hans Ulrich Obrist.

Anish Kapoor (b. Mumbai, 1954) has been celebrated across the globe for making art that is both sensorially engaging and intellectually provocative. Through adventurous artistic experimentation, he has forged innovative ways of using a wide range of materials in both his sculpture and painting, producing artworks that play with our perception of space in profound ways, and that frequently evince a deep sense of mystery. This book, which includes - among other texts - an essay by the renowned psychoanalyst and philosopher Julia Kristeva and a new, extensive interview with Hayward Gallery Director Ralph Rugoff - will focus on a key selection of the artist’s creative output from the past fifteen years, highlighting his development of new, strikingly visceral forms of sculpture and painting. In these recent works Kapoor has explored both novel thematic concerns as well as preoccupations with spatial perception, and our experience of presence and emptiness, surface and void, the known and the unknown, that have been central to his entire career. This exhibition will mark the artist's return to the Hayward Gallery, which presented the first UK survey of his work in 1998.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56420614078837,"sku":"9781853323874","price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781853323874.jpg?v=1786029441"},{"product_id":"dear-earth","title":"Dear Earth","description":null,"brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57490219401589,"sku":"9781853323768","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781853323768.jpg?v=1786442104"},{"product_id":"nan-goldin","title":"Nan Goldin","description":"A new book by the acclaimed American artist Nan Goldin (b. 1953) featuring work that's a new departure, and never been published before.     Over the past five decades, the American photographer, filmmaker and activist Nan Goldin (b. 1953) has documented personal relationships, addiction and queer communities, forming an autobiography she calls “a record of my life that no one can revise”. Her unflinching images have transformed photography by closing the distance between the observer and the observed, capturing the rawness of the artist’s own life and that of her people. Comprising deeply intimate photographs and slideshows, her stories embrace the complexity of life, standing as universal tales of love and loss.     At the heart of this book is the new, previously unseen work You Never Did Anything Wrong (2026) where, for the first time, Goldin takes as her subject matter our relationship with nature and the animal world. Images from the work are accompanied by two newly commissioned essays on Goldin’s art, and a new interview with Goldin by the American writer Thora Siemsen.     This timely publication is published to accompany the major exhibition Nan Goldin: You Never Did Anything Wrong at the Hayward Gallery, London, which opens on 24 November 2026.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57510218432885,"sku":"9781853323928","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"british-art-show-10","title":"British Art Show 10","description":"A book to accompany the UK's largest recurring contemporary art exhibition, British Art Show 10, which this year is curated by Ekow Eshun, the trailblazing writer and curator described by Vogue as 'the most inspired - and inspiring - curator in Britain'.
