Overview

In 1964, while studying under Joseph Beuys at the Kunstakademie in Dusseldorf, Peter Heisterkamp (1943-1977) assumed the name of an American gangster and boxing promoter and became known to the world as Blinky Palermo. Today Palermo is regarded as one of Germany's foremost abstract painters of the twentieth century, renowned for his independent approach and experimental use of bold colour and surface, including cloth, steel and aluminium. This beautifully produced book brings together an extensive selection of the artist's works, including, for the first time, many pieces that originated in Dusseldorf, the location of Palermo's creative activity for many years. A comprehensive and generously illustrated survey of Palermo's distinctive abstract work, this is essential reading for anyone with an interest in this enigmatic, internationally respected artist.
