Studio and Cube: On the relationship between where art is made and where art is displayed

When does an artist's creation become art, and where? Does it occur in the solitary confines of an artist's studio, or does it require the context of an art gallery's white cube? Studio and Cube is author Brian O'Doherty's long-awaited follow-up to his seminal 1976 essays for ArtforumInside the White Cube: The Ideology of the Gallery Space. In Studio and Cube he expands his interpretation to include the artist's studio, tracking the relationship between the artwork and the artist from Vermeer through late modernism.
