俄裔观念艺术家伊利亚与艾米莉亚·卡巴科夫夫妇堪称同代创作者中最负盛名的代表。他们以开创性的大型环境装置闻名，作品将日常元素与观念艺术完美融合。其创作既深植于苏联社会的视觉文化，又普世性地叩击人类共通命题，在忧郁底色中透出幽默灵光。

 

本书为纪念二人五十载艺术生涯，系统梳理了从伊利亚·卡巴科夫早期的绘画、素描、手稿本与装置，到1987年移居西方后与妻子艾米莉亚共同创作的沉浸式装置及建筑模型。通过剖析贯穿其作品的"失败乌托邦"政治幻灭主题与逃离超脱的幻想，本书深入探讨美学与政治的关联，以及绘画如何以其多元形态始终占据他们艺术实践的核心。

 

书中汇集多位顶尖艺术评论家与史学者的论述，为卡巴科夫夫妇的创作提供语境支撑，配合作品说明文字深化解读。艺术家自述段落穿插其间，揭示其始终如一的创新精神。全书收录逾百件作品高清图片，从标志性装置到伊利亚色彩斑斓的精致绘画，这部精美专著既为初识者开启通往卡巴科夫艺术宇宙的大门，亦为资深研究者提供重要学术参考。

 

Russian-born conceptual artists Ilya and Emilia Kabakov are among the most celebrated artists of their generation. Known for their pioneering large-scale environments and installations, the artists' work fuses the everyday with the conceptual.

 

Deeply rooted in the visual culture of Soviet society yet speaking equally to universal themes, their work is characterised by a sense of melancholia but also humour. Celebrating five decades of work, this book traces a line from Ilya Kabakov's early paintings, drawings, albums and installations to the collaborative projects made with his wife Emilia following his emigration to the West in 1987, which include immersive installations and architectural models.

 

Exploring the themes of failed utopia and political disillusionment that run through their work, as well as fantasies of escape and transcendence, it also examines the relationship between aesthetics and politics, and the way painting has remained a central feature of their work in ever-diverse forms. A selection of texts from leading art writers and historians contextualise the artists' practice, and descriptive captions illuminate individual works. The artists' own writings are interspersed throughout, providing insight into a career exemplified by innovation and originality.

 

Fully illustrated with over 100 works, ranging from the artists' iconic installations to Ilya Kabakov's colourful and delicate paintings, this beautiful book will introduce newcomers to these important artists, while also serving as a key reference for those already familiar with their work.
