Description
Takis: A Pioneering Artist of Postwar Europe Takis was a highly innovative and eccentric artist who played a significant role in shaping the artistic and literary circles of Paris, London, and New York from the 1950s onwards. His work spanned multiple mediums, including sculpture, painting, and musical structures, which often explored invisible natural forces. At the heart of Takis's practice were his 'telemagnetic' works, created using everyday metallic objects that floated in space through the use of magnets. This unique approach earned him both admiration from notable writers such as Allen Ginsberg and William Burroughs, and controversy among his contemporaries. This book provides a new English-language introduction to Takis's work, featuring a combination of essays and primary sources that highlight his influence on contemporary art since the 1960s.
