TheEYE: Michael Craig-Martin

Part of an interview-based documentary series profiling major contemporary artists. This volume looks at the work of Michael Craig-Martin. In 1973 Craig-Martin exhibited a glass of water on a shelf, together with a printed text, and called the work 'An Oak Tree'.

As the text explained, the artist had changed the glass of water into an oak tree. More than thirty years later, Craig-Martin creates - along with screen-savers, works on LCD monitors and conventional paintings - gloriously colourful environments with blown-up outline images of domestic objects.
