About This Item
BRAND NEW IN ORIGINAL WRAPPER.
The most comprehensive monograph dedicated to the seminal artist Paul Thek, this highly sought after, well-researched and impeccably illustrated tome is a rich resource documenting the work of the late American artist, most of whose oeuvre was ephemeral in nature and has been destroyed or lost. Well known for his "technological reliquaries" and other sculptures in wax which were initially inspired by his visit to the catacombs of Palermo in 1963, and documented by his then boyfriend, Peter Hujar, Thek's output spanned disciplines from drawing and painting to installation, or "processions," as he called them. Italy proved to be fertile territory for Thek. He made his first sculptural work in Rome, where he also staged his first solo European exhibition, and would visit Ponza many times throughout his life where he drew and painted the small fishing island and popular Roman escape.
