A glittering personality on the 1970s art scene, Michael Buthe (1944-1994) plundered the world's cultures to make his brightly chaotic drawings, paintings, assemblages and installations (Buthe was among the earliest artists to present room-size installations as works of art). Achieving a balance between delicacy and kitsch, Buthe's work resembles a bizarre amalgam of Jack Smith and Richard Tuttle. This first substantial monograph is a revelation and a delight.
