A great and unlikely success story, Da Corte creates funny and therapeutic works in the hope of easing the 'exquisite pain' of modern life. -New York Times

This comprehensive monograph celebrates the acclaimed Philadelphia-based installation artist Alex Da Corte (born 1980), famed for his show-stopping 2021 Roof Garden Commission for the Met, As Long as the Sun Lasts. Da Corte's Day-Glo works are distinctly rooted in traditional American arts and culture--tellingly, as a teenager he planned to become an animator for Disney--and the artist himself often appears in his films, impersonating iconic figures such as Popeye, the Statue of Liberty, Fred Rogers or Eminem. Throughout, the pop flavor of Da Corte's aesthetics is mixed with a satirical existentialism: his works often combine sadness and effortless play, connecting our sense of self with consumer culture--from the films we watch to the objects we buy, give and throw away.
