Frank Walter - Frank Walter's Chessboard

Xavier Hufkens presents a catalogue on Antiguan painter, sculptor, writer, and philosopher Frank Walter (1926-2009). Featuring 85 illustrated works plus archival material, transcribed audio recordings, poetry, and a detailed family genealogy, the volume highlights Walter's extraordinary artistic output. Moreover, it charts the physical, emotional and sociocultural trajectories of Walter's life as he travels - both literally and figuratively - between two distinct worlds: the Caribbean and Northern Europe. Essays by Nina Khruscheva, Mia Matthias, and Barbara Paca explore his inventive, resilient practice in a radical reappraisal of his legacy in the years since his death.
