- GORDON MATTA-CLARK - Thomas Crow, Corinne Diserens - Phaidon - - Gordon Matta-Clark (1943-1978) is one of the great heroes of late twentieth-century art, a cult figure as much in the contemporary art world as on the architecture scene. Founding member of the New York-based Anarchitecture group, Gordon Matta-Clark is most famous for his slicing through facades, walls and floors of derelict buildings. Matta-Clark`s interventions are always grounded in social or political convictions: some of his visionary urban projects include purchasing at auction fractions of unusable urban land in New York (Reality Properties Fake Estates, 1973) and dispensing oxygen to passersby in the streets of New York from a self-made cart (Fresh Air Cart, 1972). - - stunning ... impressive monograph - Art Review - - 240 pages - 120 colour, 100 b&w illustration - Paperback - English
