Brilliantly written book on a fascinating artist,
By A Customer
This review is from: Christian Boltanski (Hardcover)
This is one of the best monographs I've read. Often I get books an an aritst I like, and can't get through the awful text, I end up just looking at the pictures. The text in this book adds so much to my understanding of the work, by detailing the progression of his ideas through the years, and clearly describing the installations. The writing is very clear, I found myself reading it as if it were a novel.
4.0 out of 5 stars
This book will explain what you don't know about Boltanski,
By "ani@infoserve.net" (Vancouver, BC Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Christian Boltanski (Contemporary Artists (Phaidon)) (Paperback)
I saw his exhibit in Paris a few years ago and I was intrigued about this artist.This book will give more explanation on his work and why he does it. Some of the writing can be too academic and hard to understand. There's an interview with Boltanski which I loved. He's very opinionated and an interesting artist. There's not much info on him on the internet so I'm really glad that was made.
