'Raphael Rubinstein's fine narrative illuminates the experiences and indeed creators that have marked Guillermo Kuitca's courageous trajectory as an artistThey range from Pina Bausch's dance company playing to a hostile audience in 1980, to his unexpected reinvention of the shifting, yet claustrophobic space of Cubism in the recent immersive murals. Gathered in one volume, the images and backstory prove disturbing as well as oddly triumphal.' -- Catherine Lampert
'Rubinstein gives an incisive account of Kuitca's work, which is simultaneously abstract and affective, minimalist and exuberant, and deeply engaged with the world. Gingerly situation Kuitca in an international context, the book focuses on how he side-stepped the post-1960s endgame of painting, exploring ever new and compelling ways to give the medium a new lease on life. A must-read for anyone interested in art from beyond Europe and North America.' -- Andreas Huyssen
