Text by Jennifer Higgie. Foreword by Jarvis Cocker.
Twelve key projects from across Holden’s multidisciplinary career, blending personal narratives with broader philosophical inquiry
British artist Andy Holden (born 1982) is a multidisciplinary contemporary artist whose wide-ranging practice embraces sculpture, installation, painting, video, performance, animation, music and curating. His work often starts from personal anecdotes or idiosyncratic narratives and expands into broader philosophical and cultural inquiry. This monograph focuses on the 12 projects that have defined his career to date. These include breakout works Pyramid Piece and Return of the Pyramid Piece (2008); acclaimed magnum opus Laws of Motion in a Cartoon Landscape (2011–17); the extensively touring Artangel commission Natural Selection (2017); his powerfully moving meditation on love, loss, grief and mourning, Song of Songs (2023); and the 2025 commission for Frieze Sculpture, London.
