Description

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.

Just gorgeous: I found it irresistible.

Joanna Lumley
How necessary and wonderful to see ancient and beautiful Cambridge singing with new life, colour and vitality through the works of contemporary artists. A book to treasure.

Stephen Fry
How completely magnificent to see Cambridge through the eyes of 50 brilliant contemporary artists. Some of the pictures vividly remind me of my time there. Bikes and wind basically. This book looks utterly lovely.

Claudia Winkleman
Cambridge is an inspiring city, rich in all kinds of beauty. It's wonderful to see such a joyous celebration of the architecture, life and personality of this special place.

Dame Fiona Reynolds, Master of Emmanuel College, Cambridge
A stunning contemporary look at the city of Cambridge through the eyes of the artists who are inspired by its architecture, green spaces, people and sense of history.

Sir David King
A brilliant new look at contemporary Cambridge. A wide selection of local artists have captured the energy, quirkiness and historic beauty of this wonderful city.
