Brion Gysin: Dream Machine

by Laura Hoptman. London / New York: Merrell in association with the New Museum, 2010. First Edition. Quarto. Black cloth. 196pp. Illustrated. Fine in Fine dust jacket.

During his lifetime Brion Gysin (1916–1986) inspired an array of artists, writers, poets and musicians, notably the Beat Generation. Since his death Gysin’s own work has only increased in popularity, yet his radical approach to art defies categorization. Dream Machine is the first detailed study of Gysin’s œuvre in both art-historical and contemporary contexts.
