In 1990 ENRIQUE MARTINEZ CELAYA left a promising career in physics for art and since then he has pursued his work with a singular and uncompromising vision. Working in a variety of media and deeply engaged with philosophy, literature, and science, Martínez Celaya has created an expansive body of work that has led him to become one of his generation’s most influential artists.
This publication, the product of extensive research from his studio’s archive, traces the development of Martínez Celaya’s thought through previously unpublished photographs; illustrations of hundreds of artworks; archival notes and writings; sketches and drawings for his public projects and exhibitions; excerpts from the critical reception of his work; and an insightful introduction by art historian and long-time collaborator Daniel A. Siedell.
