However the radical nature of his work addresses themes that have become central within contemporary artistic practice. A narrative text by Paul Coldwell and contributions by some of the featured artists document these interpretations. The book is prefaced with introductions by Roberta Cremoncini, director of the Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art, London, and Edward King, director of Abbot Hall Art Gallery, Kendal. Artists' biographies conclude the work. Published to accompany an exhibition at Abbot Hall, Kendal, and subsequently at the Estorick Collection, London, in 2006.
