When 'The Body as Language' appeared in 1974, it was reviewed by some of the most influential art historians and writers. Nearly thirty years after the first edition, the text is republished with all the original photographic material. It is brought up-to-date by an afterword by Lea Vergine, who observes the changes of Body Art throughout the nineties.
