Description: 33 Artists in 3 Acts by Sarah Thornton Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This compelling narrative goes behind the scenes with the worlds most important living artists to humanize and demystify contemporary art. Publisher Description The best-selling author of Seven Days in the Art World now tells the story of the artists themselves—how they move through the world, command credibility, and create iconic works. 33 Artists in 3 Acts offers unprecedented access to a dazzling range of artists, from international superstars to unheralded art teachers. Sarah Thorntons beautifully paced, fly-on-the-wall narratives include visits with Ai Weiwei before and after his imprisonment and Jeff Koons as he woos new customers in London, Frankfurt, and Abu Dhabi. Thornton meets Yayoi Kusama in her studio around the corner from the Tokyo asylum that she calls home. She snoops in Cindy Shermans closet, hears about Andrea Frasers psychotherapist, and spends quality time with Laurie Simmons, Carroll Dunham, and their daughters Lena and Grace. Through these intimate scenes, 33 Artists in 3 Acts explores what it means to be a real artist in the real world. Divided into three cinematic "acts"—politics, kinship, and craft—it investigates artists psyches, personas, politics, and social networks. Witnessing their crises and triumphs, Thornton turns a wry, analytical eye on their different answers to the question "What is an artist?" 33 Artists in 3 Acts reveals the habits and attributes of successful artists, offering insight into the way these driven and inventive people play their game. In a time when more and more artists oversee the production of their work, rather than make it themselves, Thornton shows how an artists radical vision and personal confidence can create audiences for their work, and examines the elevated role that artists occupy as essential figures in our culture. Author Biography Sarah Thornton is a sociologist and author of three critically acclaimed books, including the international bestseller Seven Days in the Art World.
