This book concerns the artist Michael Costantini (b. 1953) and his presence in my collection of art. It is comprehensive to that end, but is not meant to be a definitive catalog raisonnŽ. I claim the ownership, knowledge and emotional responses to MichaelÕs work that I have purchased during the past approximately 45 years, but to understand the breadth and depth of this artistÕs work, all of his oeuvre should be presented to the world.
