Published to accompany the exhibition at Minneapolis Institute of Arts featuring work by 28 international artists including Thomas Demand, Ai Weiwei, Mark Dion, Sharon Lockhart, Jonathan Monk, Trevor Paglen, Mary Temple and Vik Muniz. The book features essays and profiles of all participating artists.
As viewers of the 'Colbert Report' know, we are living in an age of 'truthiness' - where things we wish to be true are preferred to things that are known to be true. More Real? features an international contingent of contemporary artists whose work most aptly represents this modern conundrum in a variety of ways, from trompe l'oeil to digital manipulation.
A series of scholarly, entertaining and generously illustrated essays approach the concept of reality from a variety of perspectives: science and technology; the role of the cinema; the 'parafictional' in art; diaspora artists from the Middle East; and historical trends from the Age of Reason to our current state. In an age when the relationship between truth and fiction has never been murkier, More Real? explores our constantly changing sense of what is real, and the consequences of not understanding the difference.

Excellent book, quick delivery
I have ordered from Books About Art several times now. Every time I’ve ordered the books have arrived promptly and in great condition. The choice on the website has been fantastic and I have enjoyed discovering some wonderful books that I haven’t seen elsewhere. This has become my first stop for great art books and the newsletter has been brilliant at recommending new titles.
Excellent quality books,quick delivery.
Will definitely be buying more.

Great selection of books and great prices.
Brilliant all round
I love my book and had a wonderful experience with this company. Great selection of books, excellent customer service and quick shipping. Will definitely order again. Thank you!
I had a great experience with Books about art. I managed to get a range of beautiful coffee table books for a very reasonable price. Delivery and service was quick and efficient.
Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Very fast shipping from a reputable courier with tracking and very well packed as requested, which was particularly important given the rarity of the signed book. Book exactly as described and as shown in the photos. I’d happily order again with confidence.
Great books! Fast delivery! I am enjoying reading all the classics I got on Architecture!
I love this site. The books are great, the pricing is unmatched, and the delivery is always prompt. There is nothing more that could be expected.
Cannot fault the quality of the three books I purchased, or the service, which was very prompt. I've only recently discovered Books About Art, and it's a great site for browsing owing to some really interesting titles that I wouldn't normally look for. Also good discounts ... hence I purchased two more books than intended. Will be back for more!
Excellent books! Great packaging and speedy delivery too.
Thanks for subscribing!
