Description
At Mayo Clinic, art and medicine go hand-in-hand. In this thoughtfully curated art book, more than one hundred striking photographs take you inside the Mayo Clinic to present how the world’s leading hospital employs art as a form of holistic healing and patient care.
State-of-the-art facilities, internationally recognised doctors, and world-renowned treatment programmes are not the only healing methods offered to Mayo Clinic patients. For more than one hundred years, the art placed within Mayo Clinic’s walls has been admired and appreciated by millions; not just as a form of decoration, but as a form of healing.
The artwork featured in this collection is by no means arbitrary; it is strategically curated and placed to create an inclusive 'environment of healing,' in turn uplifting the spirits of patients, visitors, and employees as they occupy the space.
Organised by media, the book uses stunning photographs to showcase the array of artwork displayed throughout Mayo Clinic facilities, including media like ceramics, paintings, glass, textiles, photographs, mixed media, and ancient, ethnographic, and folk art.
Comprising pieces from a diverse group of artists — like Dale Chihuly, Auguste Rodin, Alexander Calder, Paul Granlund, Joan Miró, and Andy Warhol — Art & Healing at Mayo Clinic tells the fascinating story of how the hospital came to obtain pieces from some of history’s greatest artists, and describes how each selected piece affects the mind, body, and overall healing process.
While you don’t have to be an art connoisseur to appreciate the work included in Art & Healing at Mayo Clinic, long-time art lovers will find joy in exploring more than one hundred pieces of artwork presented in this informative and engaging read.
By showcasing how the #1 hospital in the world combines a form of art therapy with traditional healing methods to provide the utmost in patient care, Art & Healing at Mayo Clinic is visual proof that there is great healing to be experienced at the intersection where art and medicine meet.
