Richard Hawkins - Potentialities

Colourful and richly allusive: This first publication on Richard Hawkins in over 15 years presents a major survey of his work from 2000. Since the early 1990s, Richard Hawkins has developed a singular practice based upon the intense pleasure of looking and the dynamics of desire. He has described his work as "promiscuously referential", quoting from the histories of artistic representation in sculpture, painting, literature and the performing arts alongside popular culture and cinema in his collages. This monograph documents his work from 2000, including an interview with the artist by Bruce Hainley.
