Description

Description

Marble in Metamorphosis explores the complex relationship between marble and human culture, examining its role in shaping our understanding of art, architecture, and society.

The book delves into the ethics and politics of marble's use, considering why some cultures have revered and desired it throughout history. A new essay by acclaimed novelist Rachel Cusk reflects on the modern notion of classicism, the fate of monuments, and the tension between classicism and realism in art and architecture.

Accompanied by Chris Kontos' photographs, which showcase the island of Tinos and Athens, Marble in Metamorphosis offers a nuanced exploration of how meaning is made and remade through marble as a material in our cities.
