Product Description
Product Description
British artist Dexter Dalwood (b.1960) is the closest thing the contemporary scene has to a 'history painter'. His haunting paintings and collages depict scenes that bear the traces of important historical moments, or sites where celebrities of different kinds have lived or died. His subjects range from major political events like 'The Death of David Kelly (2008)' or 'The Birth of the UN (2003)', to places lodged in the collective cultural unconscious, like 'Sharon Tate's House (1998)', 'Neverland (1999)', or 'Camp David (1999)'. This book, featuring major paintings and collages made over the last twelve years, includes newly commissioned essays by Michael Bracewell and Terry R. Meyers, as well as an extensive interview with the artist by Martin Clark and Florence Derieux. It is the first career overview of Dalwood's work to be published.

Shame about this this book really. A hard cover edition would have been perfect but it's only available in paperback, which is ashame. And when I say paper back, I mean paperback! The cover of this book is paper (not card) with a plastic sleeve. Considering it's a Tate publication and the man's been shortlisted for the turner prize you'd expect them to put a bit more effort into the quality of the presentation. On a positive note the reproductions are on a large scale and there's a great essay. If you can see past the shoddy quality cover its a good book all in all.
