Ship to Shore - Art and the Lure of the Sea

Ship to Shore: Art and the Lure of the Sea emerged from, and was inspired by, an exhibition held across Southampton's John Hansard Gallery and SeaCity Museum in 2014. Based around interviews conducted by Jean Wainwright with 16 contemporary artists whose works were featured in the show, the book weaves an evocative narrative about the sea and its enduring lure for artists. Featuring the work of artists including: Thomas Joshua Cooper, Tacita Dean, Susan Hiller, Isaac Julien, and Catherine Yass. With framing essays by curator, Jean Wainwright and history and biography writer, Philip Hoare.
