Featuring pivotal figures of 20th- and 21st-century art such as Cindy Sherman, Nan Goldin, Bruce Nauman, Alighiero Boetti, Gilbert & George and Maurizio Cattelan, the publication documents a variety of disciplines, exploring the multitude of ways in which artists can feature in--or, indeed, become--the art.
