This aesthetic evolution has occurred in tandem with the artist's peripatetic movements around the globe in pursuit of the perfect wave. Over 300 colour images of works from the 1980s until today capture the acerbic wit and tremendous talent of the enigmatic artist. Textual contributions from Bickerton's family and friends, As well as scholarly essays by art historian Abigail Solomon-Godeau and MCA Chicago Curator Dominic Molon, are interspersed with the artist's commentary. An interview between the artist and Serpentine Gallery Co-Director Hans Ulrich Obrist is brought to vivid life by the renderings of Ignacio Noe.
