Offered here SEALED and in AS NEW condition is Matthew Barney's "The Cremaster Cycle," published in 2003 by The Guggenheim Museum. This is a softcover book with pictorial wraps and no dust jacket, as issued. It contains 528 pages with 725 color illustration and text from Neville Wakefield and Editor Nancy Spector. The book measures 9 x 12.5 inches. "The Cremaster Cycle" is a series of avant-garde films created over a period of eight years by Barney, focusing in part on his sculpture and installation pieces. This massive softcover volume documents the work's step-by-step creation, including multiple essays on its development and the many references within. From the Publisher: "The definitive user's guide and then some to Matthew Barney's epic five-part film series, The Cremaster Cycle is filled with hundreds of Barney's fantastical images and surveys the project, which uses the biological model of sexual difference as its conceptual departure point. Three essays by Barney experts articulate the series' diverse themes and explore the artist's innovative aesthetic vocabulary; interviews with key collaborators, a composer, costume designer, make-up artist, technicians, and actors reveal his working process. A trailblazing essay by Curator of Contemporary Art Nancy Spector charts Barney's work from the 1990s to the present and provides critical insights into the aesthetic vocabulary of his five Cremaster films, while Neville Wakefield's 'Cremaster Glossary' illuminates the films' most far-flung references with citations from sources as diverse as Freud's psychoanalytic studies, Mormon law and lore, and hardcore music fanzines. In addition to stills from the five films--including the final episode, Cremaster 3--the book features related sculptures, photographs, drawings, and storyboards. For anyone intrigued by the Wagner of contemporary art, this is an atlas to his enticingly hypnotic worlds. Barney himself collaborated on all aspects of this extraordinary publication, including the selection of over 700 images, most of them never before published.". Bookseller Inventory # MB-CCSoft-abe
