The book BODY OF ART celebrates the beautiful and provocative ways artists have represented, scrutinized and utilized the body over centuries.
This book examines art through that most accessible and relatable lens: the human body. In doing so it's oneof a kind: this is the only book to examine the subject in such depth and scope. Diverse and multi-cultural, it explores the manifestations of the body through time, cultures and media.
Over 400 artists featured: works range from 11,000 BC hand stencils in Argentine caves to videos and performances by contemporary artists such as Marina Abramovic, Joan Jonas and Bruce Nauman
