Unauthorized Autobiography is a thirty-year retrospective of Forester’s paintings, drawings, sculptures, and installations which looks at his art in the context of his relentless experimentation and his parallel career as a renowned and award-winning architect. “Forester advocates that all creative people adhere to the time-honored ideal of the Renaissance man, or what is known colloquially in America as the ‘jack-of-all-trades.’ He believes that rather than focus on one narrow specialty, people should work in an ever-widening sphere of creative activity: sensitivity to aesthetic issues in one field automatically enhances one’s awareness of what is going on in other fields.” Essays by Alain J.-J. Cohen and Michel Zakian.
