| Summary: |
"Richard Wright is considered one of the central figures in the celebrated generation of artists who emerged from Glasgow in the 1990s. Wright is best known for his site-specific yet transient works that subtly encourage viewers to reassess their physical surroundings. Working in acrylic, gouache, gold leaf, and recently stained glass, Wright's diverse yet distinctive compositions display a profound art historical knowledge, drawing influence from geometric patterns, minimalist typography, gothic ornamentation, and baroque embellishment. This fully illustrated volume, Wright's second with Gagosian to date, provides a comprehensive illustrated survey of the artist's work from 2010 to today. The book features newly commissioned texts from Martin Clark and Tim Ingold, a newly published interview between the artist and Will Bradley, recorded at The British School at Rome, and an exhaustive collection of plates documenting individual works and permanent commissions in such locations as Tate Britain, London; Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna; and Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Richard Wright (b. 1960, London) lives and works in Norfolk, England, and Glasgow, Scotland. Wright won the Turner Prize in 2009 and is represented in major collections around the world. In 2016 he was commissioned to make a vast gold leaf work for the 400th anniversary of the Queen's House, London. In 2018 he was commissioned to produce a ceiling work at Tottenham Court Road station, London, which was unveiled in 2022"-- |
