by Donna De Salvo, Carter E. Foster, Mark Godfrey, and Roni
Horn. Essay by Briony Fer.
Over the course of more than 30 years, Roni Horn has developed a body of work
of concentrated visual power, classical in its restraint, beauty and
sensitivity to material. Horn's pieces invite conceptual engagement, though her
practice defies easy categorization, and also elicit in the viewer a refreshed
attention to matter itself, to "make being here enough" (as the title
of a previous monograph put it). Her subtle explorations of the complex
energies between object and subject have expanded the vocabulary of every
medium in which she works. This slipcased, two-volume set accompanies the most
comprehensive overview of Horn's work to date--which opens at Tate Modern in
London in February 2009 and then travels to New York's Whitney Museum of
American Art in November of that same year--and has been overseen by the artist
herself. The first volume includes a plate section of works in the exhibition
with an essay by Briony Fer; the second volume, the subject index, is fully
illustrated and includes texts on a variety of topics related to Horn's work by
a host of prominent artists, critics, curators and cultural figures, alongside
the artist's own writing. Whitney Museum of American Art and Steidl, 2009. Two volume set. 432 pp. Cloth.
