"The first retrospective in the U.S. to feature German artist Blinky Palermo (1943–1977) includes more than 60 works, most of which have never before been shown in North America. This beautifully illustrated volume spans the breadth of Palermo''s brief but significant career and explores each phase, beginning with objects and paintings created shortly after he graduated from Joseph Beuys''s class at the Düsseldorf Art Academy in the early 1960s and culminating with paintings he produced during his last years in both Germany and New York City." -- publisher''s statement.
