About this ebook
Joe Fig asked a wide range of celebrated artists these and many other questions during the illuminating studio visits documented in Inside the Artist's Studio—the follow-up to his acclaimed 2009 book, Inside the Painter's Studio. In this remarkable collection, twenty-four painters, video and mixed-media artists, sculptors, and photographers reveal highly idiosyncratic production tools and techniques, as well as quotidian habits and strategies for getting work done: the music they listen to; the hours they keep; and the relationships with gallerists and curators, friends, family, and fellow artists that sustain them outside the studio.
Joe Fig
Joe Fig is an artist born and raised in Seaford, Long Island, New York. After college, he lived for three years in Woodstock, New York. At age 23, he was the youngest member elected to the Woodstock Artists Association Board of Directors in its seventy-year history. He lived in Central Pennsylvania, Amish country, for a time, and spent a summer in Europe studying sculpture and art. He lived in New York City for twelve years before moving to Connecticut, where he currently lives with his wife and two boys.. Part craftsman, humorist, and historian, Fig creates intricate and realistic sculptures of artists and their studios, which reveal insights into their personality through their working style and practice. Fig's work has been exhibited extensively throughout the United States. He is the recipient of The Space Program, Marie Walsh Sharpe Foundation Grant; a Paula Rhodes Memorial Award, School of Visual Arts; a Lucille Blanch Award, Woodstock Artists Association; and a Francis Criss Award, School of Visual Arts.
