Author Description

Conceived in close collaboration with the artist, this survey tracks almost three decades of Eliasson's artistic practice - including works completed in 2018. Hundreds of illustrations are introduced by a perceptive essay by art historian Michelle Kuo and an interview with Eliasson. The book provides an unparalleled overview of his creative output, which speaks to an astonishingly varied audience, from large-scale installations such as 'The weather project', which drew over two million visitors to London's Tate Modern in 2003-4, to smaller, more delicate works, such as 'watercolours', 'compasses', and 'glass works'. Views of his dynamic studio in Berlin round out the picture.
