Known for his use of familiar objects, icons, and brands in surprising and surreal contexts, Alex Da Corte (b. 1980) often confronts themes of identity, cultural hegemony, and consumerism in his videos, sculptures, paintings, and installations.
In As Long as the Sun Lasts he draws together the beloved Sesame Street character Big Bird and the kinetic sculptural works of Alexander Calder. This compact volume presents images and analysis of the new installation, considering it in the context of his past work and featuring fascinating records of the artist’s process, including sketches and images from his studio. An interview with Da Corte provides further insight into his diverse artistic inspirations, which range from Renaissance painting to horror films, and elaborates on how art history, politics, and religion inform his work.

I'm really enjoying ordering from this company.
Great titles and not too pricey. Orders arrive promptly with a decent delivery service. Beautifully packed to ensure the books arrive in lovely condition.
Came across this book by accident, it's filled with fabulous images, many of which I haven't seen before.
So glad I discovered this website! Wonderful selection of books at great prices. My books arrived quickly and in perfect condition. I have put in another order today.
Excellent product and service
Great little book, especially for those with an interest in comics and illustrations. Not a great deal of narrative, but more than made up for by the well reproduced images.i
That, for what I`ve been looking
Brand new book in excellent condition and only £5. Will use this company again
Absolutely brilliant service from books about art
Books About Art have so many wonderful books!!! I was worried at first, since I'm a bit of a bookworm, that they'd only have big glossy "coffee-table" style books - you know the type, just with big arty photos? (Which are fine, if they're what you're into!!!) But no, they have plenty of great books you can actually READ!!!
They are fabulously priced & they post really quickly!!! Plus they package the orders really well, so there's no risk of your precious books being damaged....
Thank you Books About Art - you're AMAZING!!!
This is such a rich and detailed book. The examples here are wide ranging and really document an amazing journey of graphic design through the ages. It is really well printed and presented. An absolute feast for the eyes! (Plus it'll bring back a lot of memories)
Always an amazingly diverse range of books, all well priced and speedy delivery. Absolutely my favourtie bookshop.
