Bas Jan Ader's entire body of work is collected in "Implosion". Included here are such remarkable projects as "Fall"--a shocking series of film stills in which the artist is seen falling from a tree or the roof of a house--and the well-known photography series "I'm Too Sad to Tell You", which consists of portraits of the artist, weeping. Brilliantly collecting and presenting the artist's amazing selection of pieces, along with several insightful essays, "Implosion" is a moving document of an all-too-brief career.

The art world lost a unique talent and sensitive soul when Dutch artist Bas Jan Ader (1942-1975) died during his project "In Search of the Miraculous," which involved crossing the Atlantic Ocean in a sailboat. Bas Jan Ader's melancholy and metaphysical art built upon themes developed in the literary and dramatic work of Samuel Beckett--an artistic kindred spirit of Jan Ader's. 

Includes a 12-page pamphlet for an exhibit in January of 1972 for an exhibit by Bas Jan Aer, William Leavitt and Ger Van Elk at the Pomona College Gallery at the Claremont Colleges, in Claremont California.
