Summary: informative , insightful view of Carroll's work.
Review: Little has been published on this unique artist, and what has been published is mostly out of print , or only found in Europe. It was in Europe that I first saw Carroll's work in Kassel, Germany during Documenta 9 , the most important exhibition of contemporary art held every 5 years. Ever since I have been intriqued and drawn to the work. Mr. Millazzo's essay alows an entrance into the process of Caroll's work, and allows questions to form that engage the reader. Beautifully designed and illustrated with mostly color plates allows the viewer to glimpse into the range of this talented painter. Carroll's fascination with the fleeting, temporary nature of our very own exsistence is written about thoughtfully in the text. Carroll has been exploring these personal and complex ideas since the early 80's
I highly encourage this book if you are interested in contemporary art of our time.
