characterized by his fascination with speed his passion for technology youth culture and art
history and his perception of the power of art and institutions. This monograph provides a
novel look at the artist's brief but dynamic and prolific career. Highlighting Majerus's timely
reflection on and criticism of the pervasiveness of images one of the book's focal points is
