Art Desks

Posted by Daylight Books on 2013-11-12

Art Desks features photographs of the desks and working spaces of artists, curators, art dealers, critics and tastemakers throughout the East Coast. This series began in 2011 in Washington, D.C. and has since expanded to other art markets. This series explores the idea of desk as portrait combined with the social experiment of navigating the art world.

These photographs will be published by Daylight Books in the fall of next year. The 8-inch-by-10-inch hardbound book will feature 96 photographs of art desks. This will be Robinson's first book published with an independent publisher.
