"Award-winning American writer, director, theater designer, architect, and visual artist Robert Wilson is one of the most visionary, versatile creators of theater of the past three decades. Like only a few other figures in twentieth-century art, Wilson has managed to move beyond the expressions of his own particular art form, rejecting logical characterization and progression of plot, yet creating a complicated minimalism involving new languages, monumental architecture, mathematical schemes, and avant-garde music. His presence in the United States is evidenced by the Watermill Center, his collaborative art development center near Southampton, Long Island, and the Byrd Hoffman Foundation in New York City, an administrative and non-profit fundraising organization."

The abundance of color and b/w photographs in this volume document the work of this exceptional artist splendidly. Contains an extensive chronology of works and photo credits at rear. Minor wear to dustjacket. John Iacovelli's Ex-Libris on front free endpaper. Near fine to fine condition.
