Scheidegger und Spiess AG, Verlag Liz Craft! : A Monography

American artist Liz Craft creates sculptures and figurative installations that appear like fragments in space.They tell dreamlike stories and conjure an atmosphere associated with surrealism, fairy tales, or drug-induced hallucinations.For her art, Craft mainly draws on ideas from American counterculture of the 1960s, psychedelic experiences, and pop culture.She borrows images from B movies, Westerns, and horror films, as well as comic strips and theme park aesthetics. This first comprehensive monograph on Liz Craft in more than 15 years offers a deep insight into her artistic evolution over two decades.Numerous illustrations document recent works in various contexts.Two supplementing essays and a conversation with the artist explore and reflect on the diverse themes and techniques she applies.The superbly designed volume contributes to a better understanding of Craft’s unique style and offers a rich source for anyone interested in contemporary art.
