Martin Creed: What's the Point of It?
With essays by Bill Bailey, Cliff Lauson, Paul Morley and Joachim Pissarro
Renowned British conceptual artist Martin Creed divides the audience neatly between those who consider his installations to have a healthy self-conscious dose of wit - a rare quality in the art world - and those that consider his conceptualism to be critically overrated. We fall into the first camp, and this new tome, released to coincide with the artist's first major London retrospective, conveys the scale and intentional absurdity of Creed's oeuvre.
