Pages: (6), 7-174, (1). Illustrated with both color and black-and-white images. "Thirty years after Bas Jan Ader failed to return from a solo crossing of the Atlantic, the interest in his work continues to grow. In less than ten years he created some thirty-five works of art in which falling, physical and emotional vulnerability and mortality are the central themes. Published to coincide with a retrospective exhibition, this thoroughly illustrated catalogue provides a much needed overview of these and other aspects of Ader's work. Also includes contributions by Tacita Dean, J rg Heiser and Erik Beenker, amongst others." Contents are as follows: Bas Jan Ader (1942-1975 missing at sea) : the man who wanted to look beyond the horizon / Erik Beenker -- Curb your romaniticism : Bas Jan Ader's slapstick / Jörg Heiser -- And he fell into the sea / Tacita Dean -- The works of Bas Jan Ader / Alexandra Blättler and Rein Wolfs -- In the film I silently elucidate everything concerning falling / Elbrig de Groot -- The notions of fall and rise were to be explored / Doede Hardeman. VG: Exlibray book. Sticker at the base of the spine. Stamps on front and back inside cover flaps. Sticker on last page.
