Andrea Zittel

Published by Mousse Publishing in 2003, this monograph serves as a comprehensive survey of the practice of Andrea Zittel, an artist celebrated for her experiments in living and the re-engineering of everyday objects. The book documents her signature projects, such as the A-Z Comfort Units and the Living Units, which explore the boundaries between art, design, and functional domestic architecture. By presenting these modular, often minimalist environments, the publication highlights Zittel’s investigation into how human needs and psychological comfort can be distilled into structured, adaptable forms.

The volume offers a critical look at Zittel’s design philosophy, which emphasizes self-sufficiency and the aesthetic refinement of standard survival tools. It was curated to capture the essence of her evolving body of work during the early 2000s, reflecting a period when her influence on relational aesthetics and social sculpture was expanding. The book is valued by collectors and scholars for its clear documentation of the artist's iterative process, capturing both the utilitarian rigor and the conceptual ambition that define her career.
