The long-awaited memoir by the late, much-lauded theater and visual artist Robert Wilson
Robert Wilson was a driving force in the avant-garde art and theatre worlds for half a century: he was the creative mind behind the seminal Einstein on the Beach (1976) among dozens of other original works and pioneering productions; his collaborators included Philip Glass, Lou Reed, Allen Ginsberg, John Cage, Tom Waits, Lady Gaga, and Jessye Norman; and he was honored with a Pulitzer Prize nomination, the Golden Lion of the Venice Biennale, and an Olivier Award, and the Praemium Imperiale, among many more. The story of Wilson’s life and career is the story of the last fifty years of experimental art and theatre—indeed, this history could hardly be approached through a better lens than an oeuvre about which Susan Sontag once said, “I can’t think of any body of work as large or as influential.”
The Space Behind the Face, written in collaboration with his friend and author Keith McDermott, charts Wilson’s life through a series of vignettes, from growing up in small-town Texas to developing his inimitable voice in New York’s downtown scene to gaining international renown. Wilson's unapologetic idiosyncrasy shines throughout, whether he’s creating a children’s theatre set of 368 fire hydrants or directing a twelve-hour silent opera about Joseph Stalin.
Part intimate remembrance, part cultural history, part roadmap for living an artistic life, The Space Behind the Face is a vital text for anyone who believes in the boundless value of boundless creativity—and a stunningly beautiful memorial to the inimitable Robert Wilson.
