Publisher Synopsis
"An extremely handsome book for an artist who received her MFA in 2000, and brings multiple perspectives to the work. . . . It is beautifully produced, and so permeated with Mutu's work that it begins and ends with several text-less pages of drawings, and her work occupies both end-papers and cover. What an inspired idea." -- Andrea Kirsh * Art Blog * "The catalogue is an impressive insight into her work on its own, although you're left curious where Mutu will take this all next, as she's instigated so many transformations in this beginning of her career." -- Allison Meier * Hyperallergic * Read more...
