Eccentric: Aesthetics of Freedom

Inspiring, thoughtful, and quick-witted, the short texts in this book introduce us to some of the most brilliant eccentrics of the art world. The overall impression is just as dazzling as it is multifaceted and shows the full scope of work that is “eccentric” (from ex centro, outside the middle) through experiments with materials or free-spirited approaches to themes such as identity, body, environment, and humanity. Richly illustrated and beautifully designed, this magazine-like catalog is a feast for the eyes and will awaken curiosity about the eccentric in all of us.
