Edward Woodman

Now seventy-five, Edward Woodman has been photographing pioneering artists and their work for more than four decades, from Richard Deacon, Antony Gormley and Cornelia Parker to Mona Hatoum, Rachel Whiteread and Damien Hirst. He has also mapped the transformation of London itself, acting as a diarist of the city and charting its architectural and cultural evolution since the late 1960s. Coinciding with a touring exhibition beginning at the John Hansard Gallery in Southampton, this book presents work from his entire career, including artists' portraits, studios, exhibitions, installations and performances, collaborations with artists, social documentation and more recent and personal works. It also features texts on Edward Woodman's practice, as well contributions from some of the artists with whom he worked most closely.
