Through various texts, among them several by the French art historian Frédéric Ballester, and opulent images (mostly taken from the artist’s private archives) the book traces Szczesny’s career from his beginnings as ‘Neuer Wilder’ in early 80s Cologne, via stops in New York, the Caribbean, Sicily, Seville, Berlin and other locations to the artist’s current home, Saint-Tropez. A section at the end of the book offers a detailed biography and a complete list of exhibitions. ‘Szczesny – Méditerranée. L’esprit du sud’ is a must for anyone interested in Stefan Szczesny’s work.
