Named one of the Top Ten Holiday Art Books of 2015 by Artnet 'Body of Artjuxtaposes Sandro Botticelli's Venus with Vanessa Beecroft's army of naked women, the iconic head of Nefertiti, and the work of Ryan Trecartin, among many other artists, to stunning effect. Highly recommended.' - Artnet 'A few months ago, Body of Artarrived in the post. I plonked it down on a coffee table pile. I've lost count of the number of times I've picked it up since. One moment I am talking to a visitor, the next they have vanished into a gawping reverie as they flip, fascinated, through its pages.' - The Independent 'A sumptuous and continually surprising survey... The editors have grouped their pictures in thought-provoking ways... Short interpretive texts make the correspondences more resonant." - RA Magazine 'A browser's delight, its chief virtue is juxtaposition... Body of Artis one of those compendious volumes so useful for looking things up.' - The Spectator 'The editors of Body of Art...had a daunting amount of material from which to choose for their survey of the human body across centuries and cultures. They have done so with real imagination, deftly mixing the old...with the new...and juxtaposing them in themes... The effects - and the similarities and differences - are continually surprising.' - The Sunday Times 'An extensive survey of unique and diverse representations of the human body... guaranteed to impress art and anatomy lovers alike.' - Interview Magazine 'Comprehensive and compelling. An impressive range of work' - Aesthetica 'A thorough-going exploration of how the body has been represented.' - The Independent 'Body of Artpositions itself as the most extensive survey of the representation of the body in art ever to be published - a bold claim, but one it deftly pulls off.' - Daily Telegraph 'Works are often presented in unlikely but enlightening pairings ... With modest design and concise commentary; this is an intelligent, illuminating survey of a topic that has an enduring appeal." - Daily Telegraph 'Ambitious in scope.' - Publishers Weekly 'Body of Artis a fascinating study of the myriad ways in which artists have represented the human body, making often surprising and always illuminating connections between centuries, imaginations and media.' - Jennifer Higgie, Writer and co-editor of frieze 'Without reflection, it is difficult to understand the integrity of our corporeality, and the way that our mind is intimately interconnected, body and soul.' - Jennifer Blessing, Body of Art, Nos 1 Holiday Art Book -Artnet "Body of Art juxtaposes Sandro Botticelli's Venus with Vanessa Beecroft's army of naked women, the iconic head of Nefertiti, and the work of Ryan Trecartin, among many other artists, to stunning effect.
