Accompanying a major large-scale thematic exhibition at the
Whitechapel Gallery, The Artists' Studio 1920-2020 traces the history of the studio
artist during the last century: as a laboratory or decor of
theatre, as a place of refuge or public space, as a site of
resistance or arena of common activity. Featuring over 80 artists and
collectives from around the world, the catalogue focuses in two sections on
"the public workshop" and "the private workshop", accompanied by six thematic essays
and color plates of works by Brancusi, Fischli & Weiss, Roni Horn,
Bruce Nauman, Cindy Sherman, Andy Warhol, Nikhil Chopra, Gutai Group, Inji
Efflatoun, Francesca Woodman, Ai Weiwei, Marisa Merz, Faith Ringgold and Francis
Bacon, among others.
