Where it came from
Published in 2009 as part of the Phaidon Press 'Contemporary Artists' series, this volume offers a comprehensive examination of the life and work of Gordon Matta-Clark. The book serves as a scholarly survey of the artist’s brief but influential career, which was defined by his radical 'anarchitecture'—a practice of slicing through abandoned buildings to reveal their structural skeletons and challenge societal notions of property and urban space.
Authored by Stephen Walker, the text provides a critical analysis of Matta-Clark’s site-specific interventions and his use of film, photography, and sculpture to document his ephemeral works. The design of the monograph reflects the aesthetic common to the Phaidon series, prioritizing clean typography and large-scale visual documentation to ensure that the reader can engage with the visceral nature of the artist's structural dissections.
