With contributions by Hilton Als, Claudia Carson, Robert Gober, Paulina Pobocha, and Christian Schiedermann Published in conjunction with the first large-scale survey exhibition of Robert Gober's art in the United States and prepared in close collaboration with him, Robert Gober: The Heart Is Not a Metaphor traces the development of his work, highlighting themes and motifs to which he has returned throughout the decades. The book features an essay by Hilton Als—a text both wide-ranging and personal—and an in-depth narrative of Gober's life.
