This comprehensive survey of the work of the young and influential American sculptor Tom Sachs is the first of its kind, and long overdue. Sachs appropriates elements from American popular culture, including fast food, skateboarding and hip-hop music, and mixes them with overt references to luxury fashion labels, as well as icons of Modernist art and design. Even as Sachs's work maintains an overt antagonism toward consumerism and globalization, it reveals an inherent idealism, championing transparency of production and homespun craftsmanship. Produced on the occasion of the artist's solo exhibition at the Fondazione Prada, Milan, this book illustrates the prolific and innovative nature of Sachs's career, highlighting his fascination with weapons, conformity, cultural imperialism and craft.

Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
From The Architect's Newspaper:
This lavish monograph charts Tom Sach's career in deep detail, from his beginnings as an apprentice to master woodworkers in Frank Gehry's studio, through his polarizing window display at Barney's (Hello Kitty Nativity, 1994) to the present. Full-bleed images give ample room to soak in both his well-known, working replicas of objects like rifles made from Prada hat boxes and self-engineered tools to more obscure pieces that may have been short on media sensation but not on craft.
