An updated appraisal of the sculptural oeuvre of Elmgreen & Dragset, famed for their surreal Prada boutique in Texas
Artist duo Elmgreen & Dragset consistently devise new possibilities in the way art is presented and perceived through their subversive and multivalent practice, as seen in works such as their well-known installation Prada Marfa (2005), a permanently closed Prada boutique in the middle of the desert in Texas, and Powerless Structures, Fig. 101 (2012), their sculpture of a boy on a rocking horse for London’s Fourth Plinth Commission at Trafalgar Square. Sculptures—the first-ever dedicated study of this facet of their work—covers the artists’ sculptural works from the mid-1990s through the present day. Organized according to the aesthetics and conceptual working methods they have employed throughout their career, it includes extensive photographic documentation of 112 of their works and five essays approaching their practice from various art-historical and thematic perspectives. This extended reissue of the 2019 edition includes 16 additional pages and an updated list of artworks.
