Struggle: The Art of Szukalski

The range of Szukalski s achievements in sculpting, drawing, painting, theorizing, and writing is finally reckoned with in Struggle, the title of both this book and the first major retrospective of his art scheduled for early 2001. The book includes over 100 color and black-and-white photos and illustrations; an essay by Eva Kirsch and Donat Kirsch placing the artist s work in historical and aesthetic context; a foreword by Leonardo DiCaprio and George DiCaprio, who knew him; and the artist s commentary on selected works. I ve been amazed and thrilled by the work of Szukalski. Drew Friedman, The New Yorker
