This publication is devided into three parts. The first volume is devoted to the artist's fascinating adolescence in Vienna, Rome and Berlin as well as the turbulent days in surrealist Paris until his exile in 1939. The second volume will focus on Paalen's life and work in wartime and post-war Mexico and North America, which became so seminal for American art. In the third volume, Neufert will present an updated version of his 1999 Catalogue Raisonné.
