Item Number: 135843 Title: BRUCE NAUMAN Author: Storr, Robert ; Joan Simon Price: Not Available ISBN: 9782869251175 Description: London: Thames & Hudson, 2015. 23cm., hardcover, 128pp., 60 color illus. Summary: A prolific artist, recognized as one of the most influential of his generation, BruceNauman (b. 1941, Fort Wayne, Indiana) has developed an astounding body of work,combining sculpture, video, neon, installation, and performance art, since the late1960s. Nauman is attached to notions or ideas concerning the body and identity, thefunction of language, the perception of space, and the participation of spectators. Heis also particularly interested in the world of dance—expression through movement.Influenced by his encounter with musician John Cage and choreographer MerceCunningham, he began producing in 1967 a series of filmed performances in whichbanal, everyday gestures or simple phrases are repeated methodically. In the 1970sand 1980s, he used neon in his works, playing with words or representing sexualscenes. Nauman’s more recent pieces continue to question the ideas or concepts hehas explored since the beginning of his career, adding to an exceptionally rich bodyof work. Designed in close collaboration with the artist, and published to coincide with anexhibition at the Fondation Cartier, Bruce Nauman presents photographs, notes, andsketches alongside excellent reproductions of art, all from the last four years, thatallow the reader to gain a deeper understanding of a work that defies categorization,in the space between conceptual and minimalist art.
