Sterling Ruby 'Phaidon Contemporary Artists Series'

About the Item

A comprehensive study of one of the most versatile artists and acute observers of our time, who fuses art and fashion American artist Sterling Ruby works in a large variety of media, including sculpture, ceramics, painting, and video art. Ruby is influenced by a wide range of sources, including marginalized societies, maximum-security prisons, modernist architecture, artefacts and antiquities, graffiti, waste and consumption, and urban gangs. Through these, he examines the psychological space where individual expression confronts social constraint.

Franklin Sirmans is director of the Pérez Art Museum in Miami. Jessica Morgan is director of the Dia Art Foundation in New York.
