Exhibition at the Tate Modern, London, 3 July - 27 October 2019

One of the most playful, innovative and eccentric artists of Postwar Europe, Greek painter Takis (1925-2019) was a catalysing figure in the artistic and literary circles of Paris, London and New York from the 1950s onward. His investigations and his fierce individualism won him the admiration of Beat writers and caused polemics with his artistic contemporaries Yves Klein, Giacometti and Jean Tinguely.

This exhibition catalogue is the first English-language introduction to a key figure of Europe's post-war avant-garde and cultural underground. It foregrounds the artist's influence in contemporary art since the 1960s.
