Haas Brothers Uncanny Valley

The first comprehensive monograph on the daring, irreverent, and fantastical art of the Haas Brothers

Haas Brothers: Uncanny Valley is the much-anticipated debut publication devoted to twin brothers Nikolai and Simon Haas who founded their imaginative studio the Haas Brothers in Los Angeles in 2010. The duo is known for their multidisciplinary creative practice spanning the fields of art, craft, design, and technology, with works that are at once conceptual, yet formal, and intellectual, yet playful. Accompanying their first mid-career retrospective, the book is co-published with Cranbrook Art Museum and features approximately over 100 works across various media and is the first comprehensive investigation into the 15-year collaboration of these iconoclastic artists.

Los Angeles-based artists and twins Nikolai and Simon Haas run their studio together as the Haas Brothers.
