| Abstract: | "Critic, author, and art pilgrim Martin Gayford recounts some of the many journeys he has made in the course of a lifetime in pursuit of art."--Page 4 of cover "One of our leading art critics and writers, Martin Gayford, recounts his travels and meetings with the world's greatest artists. In the course of a career thinking and writing about art, critic Martin Gayford has traveled all over the world both to see works of art and to meet artists. Gayford's journeys, often to fairly inaccessible places, involve frustrations and complications, but also serendipitous encounters and outcomes, which he makes as much a part of the story as the final destination. In chapters that are by turns humorous, intriguing, and stimulating, Gayford takes us to places as varied as Brancusi's Endless Column in Romania; prehistoric caves in France; the museum island of Naoshima in Japan; the Judd Foundation in Marfa, Texas; and an exhibition of Roni Horn's work in Iceland. Interwoven with these tales are journeys to meet artists--Henri Cartier-Bresson in Paris, Marina Abramović in Venice, Robert Rauschenberg in New York--and travels with artists, such as a trip to Beijing with Gilbert & George. These encounters not only provide fascinating insights into the way artists approach and think about their art, but reveal the importance of their personal environments. A perceptive, amusing, and knowledgeable companion, [here] Gayford takes readers on a tour of art that is immensely entertaining, informative, and eminently readable."--Provided by publisher |
