Portrait of An Artist

Within his first artist book, Huerta Marin creates a dialogue with seven extraordinary female artists: Marina Abramović, Tania Bruguera, Tracey Emin, Shirin Neshat, ORLAN, Yoko Ono, and Kiki Smith to explore the subjects of gender and studio-practice. Portrait of an Artist presents documentation of these artists’ visual, photographic, sculptural, and performance art alongside Huerta Marin’s illuminating interviews. Further, as an artist bookwork, the project includes photographic portraits by Huerta Marin created with locks of hair collected from each of the artists during their studio visits. The result is a book that is transgressive, vulnerable, and reflective.
