Art, Design and Capital Since the 1980s

This book examines artists' engagements with design and architecture since the 1980s, and asks what these practices reveal about contemporary capitalist production and social life. Each chapter takes a single art practice as its focus: Dan Graham, Rita McBride, Tobias Rehberger and Liam Gillick.

Bill Roberts is a lecturer in art history at Christie's Education London, UK.
