{"product_id":"9788434313590","title":"Francesc Torres: What Does History Know of Nail-Biting?","description":"\u003cp\u003eBarcelona-born, New York–based artist Francesc Torres (born 1948), a pioneer of installation art, is one of the most important European artists of his generation. In \u003ci\u003eWhat Does History Know of Nail-Biting\u003c\/i\u003e, which borrows its subtitle from Arthur Koestler’s \u003ci\u003eDarkness at Noon\u003c\/i\u003e, the artist explores a body of work made by Harry Randall, a photographer and filmmaker who was one of 3,500 Americans who joined the International Brigades to fight in the Spanish Civil War. Many of the so-called Abraham Lincoln Brigade did not make it home, but Randall did. Forty-five minutes of 16mm film, shot by Randall between 1937 and 1938, becomes the material for Torres’ new limited-edition artist’s book, which explores what history looks like outside of concrete historical events, trying to capture the fragmentation and confusion that silently seeps through the official narratives of history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Generations, USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47041378615536,"sku":"9788434313590","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9788434313590_p0.jpg?v=1769889700","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9788434313590","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
