Tavares Strachan: Contemporary Artists Series

Explore the extraordinary world of Tavares Strachan, an artist whose work pushes the boundaries of contemporary art and connects seemingly distant worlds through history, science, geography, music, and culture. This groundbreaking monograph is the first comprehensive book devoted to Strachan’s expansive practice, offering an inside look at the ideas, discoveries, and ambitious projects that make him one of today’s most compelling artists.

From exploring stories of colonialism and cultural displacement to reaching for the stars with his groundbreaking ENOCH satellite project, Strachan transforms research and collaboration into powerful works that challenge how we see the world. The book also takes readers behind the scenes of The First Supper, his monumental sculpture exhibited at London's Royal Academy, and BASEC, the scientific research platform he established in his birthplace of Nassau.

Created in close collaboration with the artist, this richly illustrated volume features a conversation with Strachan, essays by writers and experts Emma Dabiri, Gavin Delahunty, and Michele Robecchi, specially commissioned studio photography, and a comprehensive career chronology. Part of Phaidon’s acclaimed Contemporary Artists Series, it’s an inspiring deep dive into an artistic vision that knows no boundaries.

A must-have for contemporary art enthusiasts, curious minds, and anyone fascinated by the connections between art, science, history, and the world around us!
