A major book on the Life & Work of the internationally renowned Spanish artist Felix Anaut was launched at the Table des Cordeliers in Condom, South West France on Friday 2nd July then in London at this exhibition at the Fairfax Gallery. 

The book, written by the European Art collector Michael Simonow incorporates an interview between Michael Simonow and Felix Anaut, discussing Felix’s past, his growing up in Zaragoza, his life in Madrid, Paris, Tangier, London, & Ireland. It also covers in depth his artistic development and interests. Finally the book incorporates some 150 images of his work from different periods up to the present day. It is with texts in Spanish, French & English.

This contemporary art book has been designed and edited by Ikeder S.L. of Bilbao (who undertake design work for the Guggenheim Museum and other important art institutions in Spain), and printed in the same city by Grafilur.
