In this first monograph on the artist, eminent art historian Ingrid Rowland and Whitechapel curator Anthony Spira explore the cultural context of Noble’s recent work. The artist brings together preparatory and associated material, edited by Migros Museum director Heike Munder, that presents snapshots into his working methods. An illustrated chronology and bibliography provide biographical background.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEdited by\u003cbr\u003eHeike Munder\u003cbr\u003eAnthony Spira\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthor(s)\u003cbr\u003eIwona Blazwick\u003cbr\u003eHeike Munder\u003cbr\u003eIngrid Rowland\u003cbr\u003eAnthony Spira\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnglish \/ German\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-2-940271-67-2\u003cbr\u003eOctober 2004\u003cbr\u003eSoftcover, 190 x 250 mm\u003cbr\u003e196 pages\u003cbr\u003eImages 4 color \/ 160 b\/w\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublished by JRP|Ringier in collaboration with Whitechapel Gallery, London.
