<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Each copy of this opulent survey on John Armleder features a uniquely treated cover by the artist</strong></p><p>The work of influential Swiss artist John Armleder (born 1948) has spanned many mediums, from his distinctive <i>Furniture Sculptures</i> to his Fluxus performances with the Écart collective, from his diverse painting series to his drawing practice, from his striking installations and wall paintings to his numerous collaborative works. <p/>Published to accompany two simultaneous exhibitions--one a rare retrospective, and one an exhibition of installation and total environments--<i>John Armleder: The Grand Tour</i> immerses the reader in the artist's world.
