{"product_id":"paul-thek-tales-the-tortoise-taught-us","title":"Paul Thek. Tales the Tortoise Taught Us","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere are artists who are not forgotten because other artists frequently \u2028refer to them as examples. Paul Thek is among those. He enjoys cult status. This book finally fills the hiatus of a survey publication. It is a compendium in three parts: In their essay with the fairytale-like \u2028title »Tales the Tortoise Taught Us« Margit Brehm, Axel Heil and Roberto Ohrt\u2028 speak about the artist’s ambivalent relation to his American homeland \u2028»Turtle Island«, they recount Thek’s unusual but at the same time typical \u2028artistry in the Beat- and Hippiegeneration. Thek defies the serial art of Pop \u2028Art as mere consumer art, pursuing his own ways in “technological relics,”\u2028 Thek’s reply to Pop Art.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe second part is a chronologically arranged survey of works from 1963 \u2028up to Paul Thek’s tragical AIDS death in 1988.\u2028 The chronologically arranged biography in the third part describes in \u2028detail the stations of his artistic life with numerous original quotations.
