The Art of Not Making

What is the difference between a work of art and a work of craft? Can an artist claim that an object is their own work if it has been made by someone else? If so, who is the author of such a work? In the first book of its kind, Michael Petry tackles these questions head on, exploring the concepts of authorship, artistic originality, skill, craftsmanship and the creative act, and highlighting the vital role that skills from craft and industrial production play in creating some of today's most innovative and sought-after works of art. The Art of Not Making includes artworks by Grayson Perry, Ai Weiwei, Matthew Barney, Chris Burden and Louise Bourgeois alongside original interviews with craftsmen who explore how the collaboration with a skilled maker results in objects that are exquisitely made and finished.

Klappentext
THE ART OF NOT MAKING probes the distinction between works identified as craft and those identified as fine art and explores whether art and craft are equals in the 21st century. Featuring original interviews with the artists and artisans who worked together to create this kind of work, this is a fresh, controversial and enlightening approach to many of the most influential artworks of our time.
