From the 'home studios' of Charles and Ray Earns, to the different photographic representations of Robert Rauschenberg's studio, this book explores the home as a distinct site of artistic practice, and the traditions and developments of the home studio as concept and space. Using examples from across Europe and the Anglophone world, each chapter considers different circumstances for working at home, and the impact on the creative lives of artists, their identifies and on the work itself. Key themes include the gendered and performative aspects of women practising 'at home', collaborative studio communities of the 1970s - 90s including the appropriation of abandoned spaces in East London and the effects of Covid on artistic practices and family life within the spaces of 'home'. At a time when individuals relationships to home environments have been radically altered, The Artist at Home considers why some artists in previous decades either needed to or chose to work from home, producing work of vitality and integrity. Tracing this long tradition, the book provides a deeper understanding of how the home studio has affected the practices and identities of artists working in different countries, and in different circumstances, from the mid-20th century to the present.
