Jeremy Deller studied Art History at the Courtauld Institute and at Sussex University. He won the Turner Prize in 2004 for his work Memory Bucket and represented Britain in the 55th Venice Biennale in 2013. His projects over the past two decades, such as Battle of Orgreave (2001),We’re Here Because We’re Here (2016) as well as the documentary Everybody in the Place: An Incomplete History of Britain 1984-1992(2019) have influenced the conventional map of contemporary art.

"Art is Magic, for sure. And when Jeremy Deller's involved, it's an education, irreverently British and a re-telling of the world around us. And if that's not enough to entice you, buying the book will, as promised by the artist, "bring you good luck and help you do sex better". Bargain. ― The Face; "Art Is Magic reveals the full, dizzying range of Deller's work to date." ― The Observer New Review;"Art is Magic is, like a lot of Deller's work, generous in spirit. It should, I think, be essential reading not just for the culturally curious but for the next generation looking to put their own artistic stamp on the world." ― ES Magazine; "Art is Magic is not like other art books. It is a wilfully eccentric overview of his career to date that includes episodes with saucy nightclub owner Peter Stringfellow, pro-wrestler Adrian Street and a top brass band. The text is chatty, self-deprecating, eccentric, wise, opinionated, funny - Deller's voice, in other words." ― The i Paper
