Essays, images and archival materials on the elusive artist whose work was centered on an exploration of mortality

This volume casts new light on the life and career of the eccentric Italian artist, philosopher and architect Gino De Dominicis (1947-98), a controversial figure in postwar Italy. The artist's belief that artworks may provide a valuable model for achieving the immortality of the body inspired his entire life and oeuvre, which spanned many mediums from painting to drawing to large-scale sculpture and installation. A culmination of Gabriele Guercio's extensive research, the book features a selection of text, archival materials and images. It is the first English reader to include not only the reflections of De Dominicis but also an impressive collection of essays and interviews penned by a wide range of artists, art historians, critics and curators, including Marina Abramovic, Jean-Christophe Ammann, Achille Bonito Oliva, Norman Bryson, Germano Celant, Anselm Kiefer, Richard Shiff and Italo Tomassoni.
