Description
Art Is Magic is artist Jeremy Deller's attempt to tie up the key works of his career alongside the art, pop music, film, politics, and history that have inspired his work. Much has been written about Deller over the decades, but this is the first time he has pulled together all of his cultural touchstones.
The book features work from across Deller's life and art, including "Sacrilege," the inflatable Stonehenge, the Iggy Pop Life Class, and "The Battle of Orgreave," a recreation of a confrontation from the Miners' Strike. Other notable subjects include bats (featured in at least three of Deller's works), Andy Warhol (whom he met in 1986), rave culture, hen harriers pecking out the eyes of a Tory MP, and a giant Chameleon slide.
