Summary:

"Since his rise to prominence in the late 1960s ... [Sir Michael Craig-Martin CBE RA (b. 1941)] has moved between sculpture, installation, painting, drawing and print, creating works that fuse elements of pop, minimalism and conceptual art. His work transforms everyday objects - from buckets and ladders to trainers, mobile phones and laptops - with bold colours and simple, uninflected lines. Renowned as an art educator, he has inspired generations of artists, including the YBAs. This ... book, the catalogue of the largest exhibition of Craig-Martin's work to have been mounted in the UK, contains ... texts by the critics Michael Bracewell and Richard Cork, and [a] ... conversation between the artist and the writer Carolina Grau."-- Publisher's synopsis
