This book-length study is the definitive history of the painting. It consists of an epic interview with the artist conducted and annotated with context, corrections, images and observations by curator and writer Jordan Stein, who also offers an introduction, alongside a trove of newly discovered archival material.Kaltenbach's process of painting this monumental work was sustained by a formidable love for his father, experience with psychedelics and a blooming spiritual life. It took him nearly seven years to finish. Since 2001, the work has held pride of place at the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento.
