A major figure on the 1960s New York art scene, Thek also spent time in Europe, where he paved the way for artists adopting collaborative strategies. Although he gained a large following and was featured in more than one hundred solo and group exhibitions, the anti-establishment ?artistâs artistâ was practically forgotten at the time of his death.Major exhibitions abroad and critical attention from younger artists have done much to revive his reputation, and Paul Thek: Diver expands on those efforts by bringing the artistâs resounding influence on the art world up to date. Published to accompany Thekâs first retrospective in the United States, this landmark publication includes nearly 300 chronologically arranged illustrations of sculptures, paintings, prints, and other works featured in the exhibition as well as four special ?in-depthâ image sections focusing on key installations, projects, and pages from the artistâs journals. An extensive selection of documentary photographs, many never before published, illuminate Thekâs artistic aesthetic and production process.
