Book Reviews of Matthew Barney: The Cremaster Cycle
Book Review: Enthralling
Summary: 4 Stars
Matthew Barney is perhaps the most brilliant artist of our time and yet also the most elusive. This comprehensive catalogue of the Cremaster Cycle, his stunningly ambitious and multi-faceted narrative based on the descent of the gonad cells, tries to explain clearly both the narrative itself (Nancy Spector) and provide a glossary (Nevill Wakefield) on the diverse symbolism in the works from TT bike racing and tap dancing to Freemasonry and hard-edge punk rock. A treat is to see Barney's working sketches, story cards and polaroids which belie the obscurism he is often accused of. This is a wonderful, rich and accessibile catalogue for admirers of Barney and anyone interested in real contemporary art.
