Abstract

"Few living artists can claim to have had the influence of Michael Craig-Martin (born 1941). Celebrated internationally for his own art, he has also helped nurture generations of younger artists, among them Julian Opie, Damien Hirst, Sarah Lucas, Liam Gillick and Gary Hume. Often described as the godfather of the YBAs, he taught by combining personal example and individual guidance, offering students practical advice and insights gained from his own professional highs and lows. Part memoir and part instructional guide, On Being an Artist mixes reminiscence, personal philosophy, self-examination and advice for the budding artist. In a series of short episodes, Craig-Martin reflects with both wit and candor on the many ideas, events and people that have inspired and shaped him throughout his life, from his childhood in postwar America through his time as an art student at Yale in the 1960s and subsequent work as a teacher, to his international success in later years."--Publisher's description.

Abstract

"Published to coincide with a major exhibition of his work at the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin, Michael Craig-Martin is a retrospective of the artist's entire career. Including everything from his early student work to the very latest site-specific installations, it is the most complete monograph on Craig-Martin ever published. Critic, author, and broadcaster Richard Cork, one of the first to write on Craig-Martin's work in the early 1970s, considers the whole range of his output and its importance to the course of recent British Art." "With an extensive account of the artist's life and work and hundreds of colour photographs throughout, Michael Craig-Martin is the definitive book on one of the most popular artists today and essential reading for anyone interested in the development of art in Britain over the past four decades."--Jacket.
