Content:
The first comprehensive examination of contemporary artist Richard Billingham, this book aims to provide an insightful overview and original interpretation of the artist's practice from the early 1990s to the present day. Illustrated throughout with colour and black and white reproductions, it combines accessibility and clarity of presentation with critical analysis and meticulous research. Conceived as an introduction to Billingham's art for a general audience, 'Photographic Realism: The Art of Richard Billingham' is an essential resource for the history and theory of contemporary aesthetics and visual culture. Yet it is not an exclusively academic text, but is intended to appeal to students of art and visual culture, art industry administrators, curators, gallerists, journalists, reviewers and art critics, as well as media and lens-based practitioners seeking to contextualise their practice.
