Produktbeschreibung

The Cambridge Art Book contains a unique collection of contemporary images of this most beautiful city, from the grand architecture of its historic university to its more intimate corners.

Cambridge is a unique place with a very special atmosphere. It combines an internationally-renowned university town with a vibrant street-life amongst stunning medieval architecture. This is an anthology of prints from 50 artists inspired by the beauty and vitality of the city, working in a broad range of contemporary media. In this book, you will find:

- Quirky hidden gems such as the dog, officially labelled as a 'cat' to subvert college rules and reality checkpoint (the lamppost that marks the divide between the university and the real world)

- Innovative representations of classic tourist sites: King's College, St. John's College, the Corpus Clock and the Backs (including Ely and Grantchester)

- Cambridge's train station and old Addenbrooke's hospital transformed into artworks

This book will renew memories and inspire visits and revisits to all its haunts.
