Tony Cragg at Goodwood is more than just a book presenting finished pieces of sculpture. It is a book about the whole process involved in creating not only the pieces themselves, but the largest exhibition of Tony Cragg's outdoor sculptures in Britain to date. From conception through drawings to creation of the pieces in Cragg's studios in Wuppertal Germany, to the sculptures arriving and being installed at the Goodwood Estate. The concept not only reveals the process behind how the artist works, but how the Cass Sculpture Foundation produced one of the largest sculpture projects ever realised with a British artist. Photographer Leon Chew was commissioned to record all aspects of the project which culminates in 24 spectacular, full-spread photographs of the completed pieces situated in and around a new 5 acre site. The show will be on for a full year.

Jan Fabre, born in Antwerp in 1958, is one of the most innovative and versatile artists of his generation. Over the past 30 years, he has produced work as a visual artist, performance artist, director and author, expanding the horizons of every genre. Homo Faber is the first comprehensive overview to deal with all aspects of Fabre's visual art. It discusses key themes and ideas in his performance, drawing, sculpture, installation, photography and film work, including the concept of metamorphosis, his use of human bones and echoes of the Old Masters in his work. This volume covers the whole of Fabre's artistic career, starting from works of the 1970s and 80s, when he exhibited himself in a shop window and staged performances in which he burned spectators' money and leading up to his most recent sculptural still lifes of owls' heads and Pushpin Men.
