Book Description
California artist Jorge Pardo creates objects that alternate between art, design, and architecture. His work has been displayed in many international exhibitions, and recent projects include a river bank pier at the Sculpture Project in Mnster and a cafe design at the Leipzig Trade Fair. Pardo is so well-known as a 'design artist' that a large number of other aspects of his work tend to be neglected. Examining the varied nature of his oeuvre, this book features detailed descriptions of various works and illuminating essays that explore individual aspects of his pieces, weighing them in the context of art, design, and architectural theory. With a detailed biography and an interview with the artist, this is a valuable first monograph on the career of one the most acclaimed figures in the contemporary art scene.
