"One of the most playful, innovative and eccentric artists of
Postwar Europe, Takis (b.1925, Athens) was a catalysing figure in
the artistic and literary circles of Paris, London and New York
from the 1950s onward. Pioneering a variety of sculpture, painting
and musical structures, Takis made works that harness invisible
natural forces. Perhaps best known are his innovative
`telemagnetic' works, begun in the late 1950s using everyday
metallic objects that float in space through the use of magnets.
These investigations and his fierce individualism won him the
admiration of Beat writers such as Allen Ginsberg and William
Burroughs and caused polemics with his artistic contemporaries Yves
Klein, Giacometti and Jean Tinguely. This publication will be the
first English-language introduction to a key figure of Europe's
post-war avant-garde and cultural underground. Through a
combination of new essays and a key selection of primary sources,
this publication will foreground the artist's influence in
contemporary art since the 1960s - and it's accessible and thematic
approach will expand the audience for this book far beyond the
specialist."
