John Armleder

John Armleder’s furniture-sculptures combine painting and sculpture, drawing liberally from traditional art references, from modernist art, modern design, constructivism; and art deco, to minimalism, op art,music, and film.The resulting images, sculptures, and installations often involve the viewer’s active participation; his art is as much experienced as it is viewed. This comprehensive book charts Armleder’s career through an interview, an analytical retrospective text, and 150 images, which present the artist’s eclectic output from his early work to his current projects. His theoretical texts and critical pieces are published here together for the first time.
