Condition as photographed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA substantial survey published during a pivotal period in Christian Marclay’s career, bringing together sculpture, photography, installation, video, performance, and sound works produced before his international breakthrough with \u003cem\u003eThe Clock\u003c\/em\u003e. Includes an extended interview with Kim Gordon alongside an essay by Jennifer González, a survey by Matthew Higgs, an artist’s choice on Blaise Cendrars, and Marclay’s own writings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe publication reflects the interdisciplinary world from which Marclay emerged, where contemporary art, experimental music, punk culture, and conceptual practice continuously overlapped. Richly illustrated with installations assembled from cassette tapes, altered vinyl records, photographic works, and sculptural interventions, it remains one of the strongest single-volume introductions to his practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished in 2005, the volume captures an important midpoint in Marclay’s career, documenting works from the late 1970s through the early 2000s — including his manipulated vinyl records, cassette tape installations, photographic collages, and early video pieces — before \u003cem\u003eThe Clock\u003c\/em\u003e (2010) brought him widespread institutional recognition. Kim Gordon’s interview is particularly significant: coming from one of experimental music’s most influential figures, it situates Marclay within a shared cultural landscape of punk, improvisation, appropriation, and visual art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduced as part of Phaidon’s celebrated \u003cem\u003eContemporary Artists\u003c\/em\u003e series, the book has become increasingly sought after by collectors of contemporary art publications and artists’ monographs. It records an important stage in Marclay’s development before his work entered the mainstream institutional canon, preserving the analogue concerns that continue to define his influence on subsequent generations of artists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShipping and handling included in the listed price.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phaidon Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53783567892818,"sku":"MARCLAY-PHAIDON-CAT-2005","price":115.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/5636\/1554\/files\/Marclay_Christian._Phaidon_Contemporary_Artists_Series_interview_Gordon_Kim._2005.jpg?v=1781763036","url":"https:\/\/thenewrare.com\/products\/christian-marclay-phaidon-contemporary-artists-series-2005","provider":"The New Rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
