Description

In keeping with the artist's eclectic style, this lavishly illustrated catalogue features a mix of poetic, narrative, and scholarly perspectives on Nick Cave's Mammoth.

Accompanying a landmark exhibition, this publication is a creative excavation of shared and personal memory. Contributions from Sarah Newman, Cherise Smith, Gwendolyn DuBois Shaw, and J. Drew Lanham engage themes of identity, environmental crisis, and institutional critique. The catalogue also features a sketchbook-style exploration of Cave's studio and mind, including in-process photography, artist sketches, and handwritten notes.

This wide-ranging book represents a significant contribution to scholarship on the artist, and will be a lasting resource for artists, art historians, and general readers.
