Body of Art (Print ISBN 978-0714869667) is the first book to explore the various ways the human body has been both an inspiration and a medium for artists over hundreds of thousands of years. Unprecedented in its scope, it examines the many different manifestations of the body in art, from Anthony Gormley and Maya Lin sculptures to eight-armed Hindu gods and ancient Greek reliefs, from feminist graphics and Warhol’s empty electric chair to the blue-tinted complexion of Singer Sargent’s Madame X.
