Sculptures

Sculptures – Artist duo Elmgreen & Dragset consistently devise new possi-bilities in the way art is presented and perceived through their subversive and multivalent practice, as seen in works like their well-known installation Prada Marfa from 2005, a permanently closed Prada boutique in the middle of the desert in Texas, and Powerless Structures, Fig. 101, their boy on his rocking horse for London’s 2012 Fourth Plinth Commission at Trafalgar Square. The book Elmgreen & Dragset: Sculptures―the first-ever dedicated study of the duo’s sculptures―covers the artists’ production in this field from the mid-1990s through the present day. Visually organized according to the aesthetics and conceptual working methods that the artists have employed throughout their career, it includes extensive photographic documentation of 112 of their works and five essays approaching their practice from various art-historical and thematic perspectives.
