"With this volume, the first major monograph on Lucas Samaras, one of the most enigmatic, deceptive, and confounding artists of our time emerges as a force to be reckoned with. During the 1960s, when his work stood defiantly apart from the Formalist mainstream, he introduced perverse eroticism and shameless self-exposure along with the materials and procedures of craftswork, illusionistic space, and visceral geometry, offering alternatives that have pointed the way to recent artistic attitudes. Out of the most common materials and objects - pins, jewels, mirror, yarn, knives and forks, goblets and chairs - he created magically alluring and repelling artworks that both conceal and reveal psychological secrets and universal truths. His extraordinary boxes, rooms, dinners, paintings, parelts, and Autopolaroids force on us a new awareness of the psychology of creation - and a realization that it is the artist's self that is constant and inescapable"--Dust jacket flap.
