About the book >.>.> The diverse range of studio types in use today does, however, have one element in common studios dependence on galleries or museums to bring their work to a broad or target audience. Calleries provide an invaluable platformi for gaining a greater understanding of how artists work today. It is, then, fitting that one of Britain's most ambitious and inclusive art galleries, Compton Verney, should provide the venue for what is the UK's first in-depth exploration of this enduring phenomenon - the 2009 exhibition The Artist's Studio-which this book was originally designed to accompany. Our thanks go to all the lenders to the exhibition and, of course, to the artists themselves, many of whom have opened the doors of their studios to make this project possible. We are delighted to include newly commissioned works for The Artid's Studio exhibition at Compton Verney, and would like to particularly thank Mark Fairnington. Paul Ryan and Siprid Holmwood for their responses to the subject. Sigrid Holmwood will take up the role. Seller Inventory # Batch-FM499-VG-11015
