Burning Man: Art on Fire is the book that inspired the stunning film of the same name. The book is the authorized collection of some of the most extraordinary examples of Burning Man art of the past two decades. Authored by longtime Burner Jennifer Raiser, it was published in 2014 by Race Point/Quarto, with a revised and updated in a slipcover edition in 2016. It records the effort, creativity, and interactivity of what becomes the largest art gallery in the world for one week a year. Braving extreme elements, artists and volunteer builders create a temporary city devoted to expression and participation. Within a 9-mile fence, over four hundred wildly ambitious sculptures delight, provoke, involve, and amaze. Interviews with the artists reveal not only their motivation to create art specifically for Burning Man, but also illuminate the dramatic efforts it takes to bring their vision to the remote Black Rock Desert, just because they can. Featuring the work of photographers Scott London and Sidney Erthal, with an introduction from Burning Man founder Larry Harvey and a foreword from Will Chase, this stunning book provides a tangible artifact of Burning Man for the other 51 weeks of the year.

Burning Man: Art on Fire is currently available on various reseller marketplaces, and will be available shortly by print-on-demand. It is also available as a Kindle download. If you are interested in notification about a print-on-demand copy click here.
