Delve into the extraordinary career of Sir Eduardo Paolozzi, a towering figure in postwar British art and a foundational father of Pop Art. Published by the National Galleries of Scotland, this copiously illustrated volume was produced to commemorate the opening of the Dean Gallery in Edinburgh and celebrate Paolozzi’s monumental gift of his life’s work to his native Scotland.

As both an iconoclast and a traditionalist, an academician and an outsider, Paolozzi famously manipulated mass media imagery to create defining icons of the nuclear age. This book provides an indispensable chronological survey of his career, tracking his artistic development across modernism, sculpture, and complex installation pieces. Richly detailed with both color and black-and-white illustrations, it serves as the definitive guide for students, collectors, and art lovers seeking to understand one of the 20th century’s most brilliant creative minds.
