Inhaltsangabe

The world of British-born artist Richard Wilson is a strangely disorientating one, in which gallery spaces are flooded with highly reflective oil, airplanes are crushed and then unfurled like newly hatched butterflies, and ships are cut in half to stand on the shore as skeletal monuments, allowing the free passage of the tide. Combining skills more usually associated with engineering or architecture than traditional sculpture, Wilson confounds the viewer's expectations, in the process opening up a new visual world. The book draws on numerous interviews in which the artist speaks freely of the inspiration and motivation for his work. With over 100 illustrations.
