Joe Tilson

Joe Tilson RA (1928-2023) was one of the great figures in post-war British art and a pivotal artist of the British Pop Art movement during the 1960s. His work ever evolving, he explored many new directions and a great variety of mediums after moving away from his Pop origins. Astonishingly, no general monograph documenting all these phases of Tilson’s prolific production has ever been published. This book remedies this through a series of insightful chapters, exploring each decade of the artist’s career, written by Marco Livingstone, a respected authority on British contemporary art. Featuring a lively and visually rich design, this unique work will guide the reader through the evolution of one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary British art.
