The remainder of the book is like the jacket, in excellent condition - clean, unmarked and solid. ""This book features a powerful selection of paintings, installations and works on paper from the early 1970s to the present, as well as a selection of the artist's incisive essays and written commentary on key words. Newly commissioned texts by British curator and critic Guy Brett and Australian art historian and curator Roger Benjamin examine the contexts and development of Davila's work, indicating the scope and sources of his art in Latin American popular culture, Australua visual culture, the history of art and politcal history. Over the last three decades, Davila has used painting to interrogate cultural, sexual and social indentities, resulting in a rich, complex and provocative body of work that has consistently challenged dominant political and art-historical narratives from the perspective of Chile and Australia."
