"Labels like "designer," "architect," "artist" slip off Gaetano Pesce. Innovative in his use of materials, daring in his aesthetic stance, and sometimes glaringly confrontational, Pesce is a unique and controversial godfather of the modern design scene. In an introduction to the catalogue of his first art exhibition in 1956, when a mere seventeen, he brashly declared his "right to be incoherent." He still lives and labors by this youthful credo, believing that today "to be" means to live in "infinite and often contradictory ways."" "Compact Design Portfolio: Gaetano Pesce encapsulates Pesce's revolutionary forms and renegade career. With an informative and judicious essay by design critic and Compact Design Portfolio coeditor Marisa Bartolucci, this survey shows how this visionary, continues to challenge the world with new design concepts and images of beauty."--Jacket.
