Memoir by Annemarie Sauzeau Boetti about her life with Alighiero e Boetti through text, photographs, and drawings also functions as a biography of the artist.

"This memoir is both a private testimony and a critical study, written by the woman who was the artist's companion during the first twenty, and most decisive, years of his remarkable career. It is also an album of photographs and drawings, many of which have never been published before. The very individual journey of Boetti, 'shaman/showman', as he called himself, is evoked through images and words that recall the key events, time and places of the 1960s and 7os generation. Boetti's artistic output spanned thirty years, from 1964 to 1994. He was prolific and extraordinarily inventive, graduating from Arte Povera to Conceptualism with enchanting playfulness, but also with powerful philosophical and geopolitical intuitions, that only now, in the third millennium, fully reveal how prophetic they were. His complexity can be summed up in that 'e' [and] which he introduced between his first name and surname: he split his identity as an artist, a game that ended too soon, interrupted by the premature death of the 'twins' A and B." -- from book's back cover.
