The selection reflects a rich body of work, which sustains the interest of important authors, as evidenced by multiple pieces by Éric de Chassey, Lynne Cooke, Robert Kudielka, Paul Moorhouse and Richard Shiff. Together, this volume of essays tells the story of an artist whose art has continuously evolved over nearly six decades.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost of the critical texts have been written in close consultation with the artist, the result of long conversations, studio visits and archive access.
