A journey through the groundbreaking works of Bruce Nauman, one of the most restlessly inventive contemporary artists of today.

Since the late 1960s, Bruce Nauman has established a completely new understanding of contemporary art, and has been acknowledged as one of the most relevant artists of the twentieth century. Both the last modern artist and, because of his ceaseless experimental approach to new media, the very first contemporary artist, Nauman is recognised for his landmark conceptual approach against which much contemporary art of today can be measured.

Focusing in particular on his experiments with sound, the moving image, and immersive installations, Bruce Nauman features explorations of Nauman's video works of the 1980s and 1990s, as well as his studio practice and more recent work. The book includes a revealing in-depth conversation between the artist and Andrea Lissoni and Nicholas Serota.

This essential book reveals Bruce Nauman as an artist who has uniquely blazed a trail in both the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
