Ger van Elk has been working on a highly versatile oeuvre for over forty years. As an artist, he occupies a self-willed position: earnest, radical, witty and ever in search of ambiguity. This new book constitutes the first ever in-depth study of this artist's work. It will be published to coincide with the opening of a fascinating exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, In & Out of Amsterdam: 1960-1975, featuring the connection between Dutch and American art during this period. Van Elk will have a dominant presence in this exhibition, which includes a number of his significant works.
