Description
Cornelia Parker: A Survey of Her Work Edited by Andrea Schlieker, this publication offers a comprehensive exploration of the work of renowned sculptor Cornelia Parker. Through a diverse range of media and collaborations with various organizations, Parker's art often reflects a poetic-yet-apocalyptic tone, addressing concerns such as global warming and consumerism. Parker's creative process is characterized by destruction and transformation, where objects are altered through violent techniques to become an active participant in their story. This book showcases her large-scale installations, including works like Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View, which features a garden shed blown up by the British Army. With over 200 pages of lavishly illustrated content, this publication provides a fascinating survey of Parker's career, spanning from the late 1970s to her latest works. By examining Parker's relationships with various collaborators and organizations, this book offers a unique insight into the artist's creative process and the development of her work.
