Artistic Collaboration Today: Profiles of Creative Teams in Diverse Media

Most artists work alone, but some find a creative partner and team up with that person over their entire career. Artistic collaborators testify that their joint work is better than what each could make on his or her own. They add that collaboration is like marriage: both partners benefit from the relationship, which requires commitment to shared goals, excellent communications, and trust.

Based on studio visits and in-depth interviews, Artistic Collaboration Today reports on more than forty collaborating sculptors, painters, printmakers, photographers, and artists who have worked in tandem with architects and performers.
