Bas Jan Ader Please Don't Leave Me

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. Texts by Erik Beenker, Jörg Heiser, Tacita Dean, Elbrig de Groot, Doede Hardeman. Includes lists of exhibitions/bibliography/biography.
