Gober first came to public attention in the mid-80s with his simple variations on the domestic sink  which were deprived of faucets and drains and thus rendered nonfunctional--highlighting  among other things  a neurotic frustration particular to rituals of cleansing. Since then Gobers work has rarely strayed from the recreation of such familiar objects as drains  doors  childrens furniture and the human body. In his hands  these routine props of existence--always crafted meticulously by the artist--suggest larger themes around childhood  domesticity  sexuality  victimization and religion. At 544 pages  Robert Gober: Sculptures 1979-2007 is a monumental catalogue raisonne of sculptures and installations. It includes approximately 250 works  all of which are reproduced in large format. Comprehensive descriptions are complemented by the artists own commentary on individual works  as well as technical information on their manufacture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67924436779061,"sku":"ByrdShop_3865214738","price":798.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9783865214737.jpg?v=1794133228","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/robert-gober-sculptures-and-installations-19792007-9783865214737","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
