Product Information
From the Publisher
An Atlas of Es Devlin, the first monograph on artist Es Devlin’s genre-defying practice, is an experiential publication encompassing art, activism, theatre, poetry, music, dance, opera, and sculpture.
Featuring previously unseen small-scale works stored in Devlin’s archive for the past three decades interleaved with 130 pages of personal commentary texts composed by the artist.
Devlin’s protean work is rooted in a lifelong practice of reading and drawing. From sketches in the margins of texts, they emerge as the collectively imagined universes for which she is globally renowned.
TheAtlas also encompasses the sketches, paintings and rotating cardboard sculptures which evolved into the London 2012 Olympic Closing Ceremony, the 2022 NFL Super Bowl half-time show with Dr. Dre and Kendrick Lamar, as well as sketched diagrams of monumental stage sculptures for Beyoncé, U2, Rosalía and The Weeknd.
