Provides an overview of Paul Thek's life and career, and discusses a number of his works, including large-scale installations and sculptures, 1960s-1980s. Notes some of Thek's recurrent themes, and the metaphorical layers of meaning which he extracted from his materials and imagery. Comments on Thek's relation to the counterculture of the 1960s and American and European art movements of the period.
