Praise for the first edition:

‘Harland Miller is one of the leading figurative artists today.’ – Flux Magazine

‘Drawing influence from Ed Ruscha, Mark Rothko, Anselm Kiefer, and Robert Rauschenberg, Miller pointedly combines text and images to comment on the frequent disconnect between representation and reality.’ – Artsy

‘A painter whose works are loved, and coveted, by many, including some very famous fans.’ – Telegraph

‘Featuring essays from arts writers Michael Bracewell and Martin Herbert, and curator Catherine Ince, this book delves into Miller’s creative process. It traces his artistic influences, locating his work within the context of abstract expressionism and modern design. It also includes photographs and personal items from Miller’s archive.‘—The Arts Society magazine

‘Harland Miller’s playful paintings are the subject of a new monograph… The monograph [is] a splashy testament to Miller’s staying power… Miller is a consummate and sincere storyteller… The exhibition in Asia enables Miller once more to meditate on the interplay between textural forms and the materiality of paint.‘—Financial Times
