The essays gathered here deal with Samuel Beckett's constitutive legacy in contemporary art since the emergence of its expanded field in the 1960s. They discuss artworks, creative practices, and artists' discourses deeply inspired by the writer, while highlighting distinct responses to the same work and lesser-known artistic scenes. Demonstrating the ongoing interest of contemporary artists in Beckett's multidimensional oeuvre, the collection illuminates relationships between contemporary art and literature.
