Dynasty

The book "Dynasty" by Thomas Raat offers a deep insight into the artistic practice of the Dutch artist, who explores how value and meaning arise in art. Raat examines in his works, which encompass painting, sculpture, and design-related practices, the development and manipulation of visual grammars over time. Through an archaeological lens on classical modernism, he questions the motivations of artists and the reception of their works by the audience. The monograph gathers a selection of Raat's works from the past ten years and includes essays by Hans Den Hartog Jager, Nick Hackworth, and Robert van Altena, which illuminate the complex themes of value, reality, and interpretation in art.
