'This collection provides a comprehensive overview of the changing portrayal and experience of the artist's role from the early modern period to the present. It also surveys the diversity of contemporary studio and post-studio practice; the critical strategies of artists who have used the studio situation as the subject or point of origin for their work; the insights to be gained from archival studio projects; and the expanded fields of production that arise from responses to the shifting realities triggered by globalization and rapidly changing technologies.

'Artists surveyed include: Vito Acconci, Edgar Arceneaux, Art & Language, Atelier van Lieshout, Francis Bacon, Louise Bourgeois, Constantin Brâncuşi, Marcel Duchamp, Jack Goldstein, Eva Hesse, Carsten Höller, Robert Irwin, Seydou Keita, Martin Kippenberger, Edward Krasinski, Laboratoire Agit-Art, Paul McCarthy, Takashi Murakami, Bruce Nauman, Mike Nelson, Gabriel Orozco, Martha Rosler, Dieter Roth, Carolee Schneemann, Robert Smithson, Wolfgang Tillmans, Richard Venlet, Ian Wallace, Andy Warhol, Lawrence Weiner, and Francesca Woodman.

'Writers include: Alexander Alberro, Jennifer Allen, Svetlana Alpers, Albrecht Barthel, Iwona Blazwick, Daniel Buren, Lynne Cooke, Manthia Diawara, Brian Dillon, Briony Fer, Elena Filipovic, Carles Guerra, Amelia Jones, Caitlin Jones, Caroline A. Jones, Henri Lefebvre, Herbert Molderings, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Brian O'Doherty, Lane Relyea, Ann Temkin, Jon Wood, Linda Yablonsky, and Phillip Zarrilli.' (Back cover)
