Summary:
"Published in conjunction with the first large-scale survey exhibition of Robert Gober's art in the United States and prepared in close collaboration with him, Robert Gober: The Heart Is Not a Metaphor traces the development of his work, highlighting themes and motifs to which he has returned throughout the decades. The book features an essay by Hilton Als--a text both wide-ranging and personal--and an in-depth narrative of Gober's life. The rich selection of images illustrates every phase of the artist's career, and includes previously unpublished photographs from his own archive." -- Publisher's description.
