Joe Tilson RA (b.1928) is one of the great figures in post-war British
art and a pivotal artist of the British Pop Art movement during the
1960s. Still working, and still evolving, he has continued to explore
many new directions and a great variety of mediums since moving away
from his Pop origins. Astonishingly, no general monograph documenting
all these phases of Tilson's prolific production has ever been
published. This book remedies this through a series of insightful
chapters, exploring each decade of the artist's career, written by Marco
Livingstone, a respected authority on British contemporary art.
Featuring a lively and visually rich design, this unique work will guide
the reader through the evolution of one of the most distinctive voices
in contemporary British art.
