A newly published catalogue to accompany the exhibition at The Fruitmarket Gallery. Includes classic works by artists such as Karl Blossfeldt, Salvador Dali and Man Ray, alongside contemporary work by Mel Bochner, Mona Hatoum, Mike Kelley and Simon Starling among many others.
Disorienting and unsettling, strangely beautiful and completely compelling, the extraordinary visual and conceptual power of the close-up is revealed in this book, which reproduces and discusses many great works of art ranging from experiments in nineteenth-century microscopy through to avant-garde film and photography to conceptual work and the use of close-up photography and film in contemporary art.
