Sculptor, painter, author of spatial forms, artistic installations, and
happenings, Edward Krasinski (1925-2004) was one of the most important
protagonists of the Polish neo avant-garde in the 1960s and '70s. This
richly illustrated book investigates the development of Krasinski's
unique formal language, showcasing works spanning more than 50 years of
his remarkable career. From early works made in the 1960s to
installations made in the 2000s, the book emphasizes his experimental
approach to art and exhibitions. Introduced by Tate curator Kasia
Redzisz, a series of texts by leading scholars presents fresh research
on Krasinski's practice, placing it within a wider global context. With
rarely reproduced artworks and documentary photographs, as well as
previously unpublished archival materials and a fully illustrated
chronology, this is the definitive English-language volume on one of the
most important Polish artists of the 20th century.
