The book The Triumph of Icarus, is a compilation of essays based on the “Life and Arts of Rasheed Araeen.”
The book is an almost 200 page thick
bundle of sagacious essays that attempt to become the “best mirror of
the oeuvre and writings of one of the foremost avant-garde artists…”
Each insightful essay is escorted by
equally gripping photographs of Araeen’s work. Most of the writers,
(mostly artists, but also a few academics and critics) are based in UK
like Araeen has been since the 1970s. Many of them have met, interviewed
or heard Araeen lecture in person. Therefore, they come up with
personal and perceptive insights into the artist’s work.
