ARCHITECTURE PB, 32 pp., illus. 2002, ISBN 0-87070-685-3 Tempo Most artists do not struggle to depict Time as they find innovative ways to use it. Often, we see time in its most common material form with clocks and watches incorporated into an artwork. There is also art where time is an element of technique: performance pieces, time-elapsed photography, and video all involve the passing of time as a part of the artistic process. With over 85 color plates of works in various media, this volume is a beautiful exploration of how artists both represent and use the concept of time.
