Accompanying a major large-scale thematic exhibition at Whitechapel Gallery, this extensive catalogue charts the artists' studio through the last century: as a laboratory or stage set; as place of refuge, or a public space; as a site of resistance or an arena for communal activity. Featuring over 80 artists and collectives from around the world, the catalogue will focus in two sections on 'the public studio' and 'the private studio', accompanied by six thematic essays and full colour plate sections of works by Brancusi, Fischli & Weiss, Roni Horn, Bruce Nauman, Cindy Sherman, Andy Warhol, Nikhil Chopra, Gutai Group, Inji Efflatoun, Francesca Woodman, Ai Weiwei, Marisa Merz, Faith Ringgold and Francis Bacon, amongst many others.
The exhibition brings together more than 100 works by over 80 artists and collectives from Africa, Australasia, South Asia, China, Europe, Japan, the Middle East, North and South America. They range from modern icons such as Francis Bacon, Louise Bourgeois, Pablo Picasso, Egon Schiele and Andy Warhol, to contemporary figures such as Walead Beshty, Lisa Brice and Kerry James Marshall.
The exhibition includes paintings, sculptures, installations and films depicting the studio as work of art and presents documentation of artists' studios by world-renowned photographers and film-makers. A series of 'studio corners' also recreate the actual environments where great art has been produced.
