Body of Art

"Body of Art" is a pioneering exploration of the human body's role as inspiration and medium for artists over centuries.

From Anthony Gormley's sculptures to ancient Greek reliefs, feminist graphics to Warhol's iconic electric chair, and contemporary works by Marina Abramovic, this unprecedented book encompasses over 400 artists.

Spanning cultures and time periods, it examines themes like identity, beauty, religion, and power.

More than a collection of representations, it offers a dynamic look at the diverse expressions of the human body in classical and contemporary art, making it a thought-provoking journey through time, culture, and artistic media.
