{"product_id":"9783775736145","title":"Paul McCarthy: The Box","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis handsome new book by Paul McCarthy (born 1945) highlights a major new work that refers to both the physical and the mental space of artistic creativity. \u003ci\u003eThe Box\u003c\/i\u003e is McCarthy’s reflection on the phenomenon of the artist’s studio. As inconspicuous as any other plain moving box from the outside, the interior of the work reveals a striking, barely comprehensible diversity of things that inhabit this intimate and ever-changing incubator for artistic ideas. First, McCarthy constructed a model of a barn-like space in Pasadena, California, which served as his studio during the 1970s. Turned on its side 90 degrees, along with its approximately 3,000 objects—from a bulky steel cabinet to a pencil—the work compels a disorienting shift of perception in the viewer, which is impressively extended into the tactile quality of the book and its abundance of images.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag GmbH \u0026 Co KG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47048935014640,"sku":"9783775736145","price":42.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783775736145_p0.jpg?v=1763683224","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783775736145","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
