Product Information
Cornelia Parker is well known for her transformation of everyday objects into unexpected, haunting scenarios - things are exploded, shot, turned back to front and rearranged in often surprising ways. Working with sculpture and installation, as well as drawing, photography and film, Parker positions her subjects at the very moment of their transformation, suspended in time and completely still. This catalogue features over forty artworks from across the artist's career, including large-scale installations, embroideries, works on paper, video works, and a selection of small-scale sculptures and objects. Highlights include 6 major installation works, including Thirty Pieces of Silver (1988-1989), Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View (1991), Magna Carta (An Embroidery) (2015) and War Room (2015). Alongside these major pieces will be a selection of works the artist created during her appointment as the 2017 Election Artist for the UK General Election, as well as her Avoided Object series of smaller-scale works, in which the artist has transformed everyday objects through processes of burning, squashing and flattening.Product Identifiers
