Ed Atkins

Ed Atkins is one of the most influential artists of his generation. Troubled by melancholy, undermined by bathos, and tempered with humor, his works pit a weightless digital life against a corporal world of craft and touch, allegorizing profound experiences of loss, intimacy, and love

This ambitious publication provides a radical survey of his career, assembling a wide range of paintings, writing, embroideries, and drawings alongside the moving-image works for which he is best known.

Essays from leading scholars, authors, and curators, alongside previously unpublished behind-the-scenes production photographs and a curated selection of new drawings, collectively probe Atkins's practice to ask: What kind of realism is at stake here?

Accompanying Tate Britain's major exhibition of contemporary artist Ed Atkins, this career-spanning monograph is a must-have for all fans of Ed Atkins and contemporary art.
