Overview

Since the beginning of his career in the late 1960s, Pablo Echaurren has engaged with disparate media, from zines to comics, from painting to assemblage and the internet, creating an extensive body of work that defies neat categorisations. Drawing parallels between the historical avant-gardes and the countercultures from the 1960s to the early 2000s, his oeuvre has always been consistent in its intent to address and cooperate with non-specialists. Pablo Echaurren: Art for the Many is the first monograph in English to be entirely devoted to his work. Featuring ten essays and an interview with him and his wife, the scholar Claudia Salaris, it covers the career of an artist, activist, and intellectual who has challenged received ideas about postwar art in Italy and cast new light on the cross-pollination of art and politics over the past six decades. With contributions by Marica Antonucci, Pierpaolo Antonello, Jennifer Griffiths, Ara Merjan, Chiara Portesine, Roberto Spampinato, Daniel Spaulding and Carlotta Vacchelli.
