Gordon Matta‑Clark (1943–1978) is one of the great heroes of late twentieth‑century art, a cult figure as much in the contemporary art world as on the architecture scene, whose work is independent of any particular movement or school. This book is the first and definitive monograph on the artist, who died at the age of 35. Born in New York and trained in architecture, Gordon Matta‑Clark is most famous for his slicing through the facades, walls and floors of derelict buildings. This “deconstructing gesture” — provocative and extreme — turns works of architecture into astonishing sculptures, where the mass of the building is entwined with the light and air that penetrate it.
