Work No. 850is about the purest expression of human vitality. This investigation into the body celebrates physicality and the human spirit, the constant ebb and flow of nature.
Work No. 850presents the beauty of human movement in its purest form, a recurring yet infinitely variable line drawn between two points.
Creed’s Work No. 850 is the latest in an ongoing series of contemporary sculpture commissions in the Duveen Galleries at Tate Britain, which now, through the generous support of Sotheby’s, is an annual event. Previous contributors to the biennial event included Mark Wallinger (2007), Michael Landy (2004), Anya Gallaccio (2002) and Mona Hatoum (2000). The series builds on a long tradition of exhibitions in the Duveen Galleries, which has included memorable installations by Richard Long, Richard Serra and Luciano Fabro.
This book is published on the occassion of the 2008 Tate Britain Duveens Comission.
Martin Creed was born in Wakefield, England in 1968. He studied at the Slade School of Art, London from 1986-1990.
