Where it came from
Published in 2019 by the University of California Press, this monograph on Gordon Matta-Clark was authored by Frances Richard as part of the publisher's Contemporary Artists series. The volume provides a scholarly examination of the artist's brief but influential career, focusing on his 'anarchitecture' projects—notably his interventionist building cuts—that challenged the boundaries of sculpture, photography, and urban planning in the 1970s.
The book design integrates archival photographs and theoretical discourse to contextualize Matta-Clark’s work within the socio-political landscape of New York City during a period of urban decay and renewal. It was released to provide a comprehensive academic resource for researchers and art historians, garnering appreciation for its clear-eyed synthesis of Matta-Clark’s ephemeral practice and its enduring impact on contemporary site-specific installation art.
