The most current book of the work of this young Scottish artist. Features highly detailed photographs of Skaer's work on paper, sculpture and installation.

Includes an introduction by Fiona Bradley, and essays by Lizzie Carey-Thomas, Stacy Boldrick and Isla Leaver-Yap. There is also a full list of works and Biography/Bibliography charting Skaer's career so far.

This book is published to accompany a major exhibition of Barclay's work at The Fruitmarket Gallery. It documents significant installations made throughout her career and includes a chronology tracing her mature artistic activity back to 1990. There are new texts by FIONA BRADLEY, PENELOPE CURTIS and CLAIRE DOHERTY, and a conversation between CLAIRE BARCLAY and FRANCIS MCKEE.

As her work is made in and for a particular contexts, and is often dismantled after exhibition, priority is given in this book to images, allowing the works something of an after-life, and the reader and opportunity to trace the development of Barclay's singular sculptural language.

Christine Borland makes art which deals with the body, and with our emotional, imaginative, medical, and institutional sense of self. Her practice is hugely varied - she makes sculpture, installations, photographs and video - yet it is united by a number of constants.

This publication brings together the major themes and pre-occupations of a tremendous range of work made between 1990 and 2006.

Writing includes re-publication of work from books and periodicals during this period as well as an essay by medical historian Ruth Richardson and an interview with Christine Borland by fellow artist and friend Craig Richardson.

Writing by Geraldine Barlow, Christine Borland, Katrina M. Brown, Charles Esche, Greg Hilty, Ian Hunt, Ulla Angkjaer Jorgensen, Maria Lind, Craig Richardson and Ruth Richardson.

Examining all areas of Louise Hopkins's practice, from the early painting on the reverse of everday fabrics to later work using maps, photographs, sheet music and comic books as a support structure for her painting. By working on supports which already contain information, often an image, and in turning that image into a painting by repainting and hence remaking it, Hopkins confronts or perhaps annihilates the original visual information.

Superbly illustrated throughout this book includes images of all of the work featured in the show, often in close-up as well as with a full view in order to show Hopkins's extraordinary attention to detail.

Essays by Fiona Bradley, Greg Hilty and Ulrich Loock and full biography.

Callum Innes is known for paintings created through a process that involves the repeated removal as well as application of paint. Calm and authoritative when exhibited, they nevertheless bear the traces of the controlled chaos of their production, of the creative and destructive interaction of pain and turpentine.

This publication brings together the major themes and preoccupations of Innes's practice over the last fifteen years. It includes essays by Michael Auping, Fiona Bradley, Eric de Chassey and Richard Cork, and a substantial new interview with the artist by Paul Bonaventura.

Lavishly illustrated, the book offers the first opportunity properly to trace the evolution and inter-dependence of the various series of paintings into which Callum Innes's practice is divided, from the earliest to the most recent paintings.
