Alighiero Boetti: Game Plan – Hardcover

Edited by Christian Rattemeyer, Lynne Cooke, and Mark Godfrey. With contributions by Claire Gilman and Jason Smith Published to accompany the first large-scale retrospective of Alighiero Boetti's work outside Italy in over a decade, this volume presents the most comprehensive overview of the artist's career to date. Covering all periods of Boetti's broad oeuvre—including early sculptural experiments associated with Arte Povera, ephemeral Conceptual projects of the 1970s, and monumental embroideries and tapestries fabricated up to his death in 1994—this richly illustrated catalogue brings together leading international critics and curators, each examining a different aspect of Boetti's achievements, together helping to explain why he remains both influential and inspiring nearly two decades after his death. 290 pp.; 140 illus.
