OLAFUR ELIASSON: EXPERIENCE

Conceived in close collaboration with the artist, this survey tracks Eliasson’s artistic practice from its start in the 1990s to the present – including works completed this year. Through hundreds of illustrations bracketed by writings on and by Eliasson, the book provides an unparalleled overview of his remarkably accessible output, from such large-scale interactive experiences as The weather project (2003) at Tate Modern to smaller, more delicate works on paper or made of glass, and includes photography, painting, and film.
