Overview

The first monograph on the British-born, New York-based artist Oliver Clegg. An eclectic, polyphonic and interdisciplinary artist, Clegg's oeuvre stretches from painting, drawing and printmaking to sculpture, installation and beyond. With his erudite, surprising and striking repertoire, and his diverse materials and methods of fabrication, Clegg offers the viewer a complex, sometimes playful, other times moving journey into existential and ontological notions of object hood and matter, images and signs, language and communication, creation and being. 135 b/w and colour photos
