by Gordon Wilkins (Author), Mark Dion (Author), Christoph Irmscher (Author)

The first comprehensive book in more than twenty years of the artist's haunting and textural photographic work, published to accompany a major retrospective at the Addison Gallery of American Art.

A definitive monograph to accompany the first museum survey of the renowned photographer and conceptual artist Rosamond Purcell (b. 1942), known for her strangely beautiful, often unsettling photographs of objects from the natural and man-made world.

With more than 150 illustrations, the book reflects the breadth of the artist's career from the late 1960s to the present day, and includes photographs, assemblages, collages, and installations that serve to illuminate and explore the shifting boundaries between art and science. From large-format Polaroid prints to objects rescued from obscurity, Purcell's empathetic, evocative, multifaceted work explores the interstices between the unsettling and the sublime, the beautiful and the bizarre, the natural and the manufactured.

With thoughtful and insightful texts from an eclectic list of critical voices--including the acclaimed documentary filmmaker Errol Morris and the writer Christoph Irmscher--and featuring an interview between Purcell and fellow contemporary artist Mark Dion, this book rejuvenates the critical approach Purcell's work and brings to light the evolution of a remarkable career.
