Author: Gavin Delahunty (ed.)
Trauma in all its forms has been an enduring theme in 20th- and 21st-century art. The proliferation of violent imagery, particularly since the expansion of mass media during and after World War II, has led to artworks that marshal consciousness of traumatic events and their cultural processing. Artists include Gerhard Richter, Kazuo Shiraga, Louise Bourgeois, Kiki Smith, Glenn Ligon, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Carrie Mae Weems, Cindy Sherman, Bruce Nauman and Anicka Yi. This book also contains an anthology of critical writings on trauma by curators, art historians and theorists including Robert Storr, Hal Foster, Beatriz Colomina, Bracha Ettinger, Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, Erika Naginski, Huey Copeland, Griselda Pollock.
ISBN 9781735762913. MW Editions/The Warehouse. hb. clothbound. 408 pages. 260 colour ills. 25 x 29 cm.
