Alexandru Radvan, a man with astounding creative energies, is one of the most prominent contemporary artists in Romania and his art not only fits into the art historical tradition, but itself reinterprets the old myths and mythologies. For Tomorrow: Investigating the new materials in the works of Alexandru Radvan came into being from very extensive research into the work of Alexandru Radvan over the last decades and explores his works from critical and art historical points of view. This book also serves as a call to us to make records of the materials used by contemporary artists in their artistic processes and also to interest contemporary artists in the methods of preventive conservation of their artistic works.
