{"product_id":"david-breuer-weil","title":"David Breuer-Weil","description":"The first complete monograph devoted to the work of one of Britain's most powerful and original contemporary artists. David Breuer-Weil studied at the Central Saint Martins School of Art and Clare College, Cambridge. From the late 1980's until the late 1990's he worked as a specialist in Impressionist, Modern and Contemporary art at Sotheby's, London and as a curator for de Pury and Luxembourg Art in Geneva. He subsequently embarked on the epic series of apocalyptic works now known as the Project, over three hundred monumental paintings, a cycle that is arguably one of the most profound and consistent achievements in recent British painting. His determination to produce an art that deals with momentous and challenging themes is a reaction to a world he knows well, in which \"art often seems to be reduced to a commodity\": \"In my own work I consciously avoided the high polish, commercial, slick look of much contemporary art. I wanted to produce colossal, un-commercialized images of existential doubt\". This lavishly illustrated monograph presents a collection of paintings, drawings, sculptures, installations and studio shots.","brand":"Skira Editore S.p.A","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42665582886948,"sku":"9788857208633","price":130.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9788857208633.jpg?v=1773266117","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/david-breuer-weil","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
