From Alberto Giacometti and Francis Bacon to Ai Wei Wei and Jeff Koons, Into the Studio leads readers into the spaces both past and present in which the world’s great artworks are born.
Whether paint-splattered and dishevelled (Bacon) or light-filled and immaculate (O’Keeffe), each of these rooms of artistic creation played or still plays an invaluable role in the creation of our most revered works.
And each reveals much about the artist themselves, their chosen medium and tools, and their daily approach to creating (whether during the day or night, with collaborators or in solitude).
Archive imagery accompanies insightful text that combines both historical research and present day conversation with practicing artists (Gilbert & George, Tracey Emin, Damien Hirst) to provide an illuminating account of the creative process.
