Galvanized by his early fieldwork on the sabotaging of British colonial outposts, Clifford disaffiliated himself with the Chadwick family by abandoning his given name, Thurston Huffington Chadwick. A prolific and provocative writer, Clifford became a countercultural legend before going underground in the early 1970s amid rumours of his ties to the FBI. Now, with the discovery in Zurich of a tape Clifford made as he disappeared from society, a far more detailed picture of this shadowy figure emerges. The tape\u0026rsquo;s transcript casts light on Clifford\u0026rsquo;s complex ties to the American government, his dramatic activities across Cold War Europe and the Middle East, and his collection of espionage devices encased within sleek modernist furniture.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelation of the novel to the artist\u0026rsquo;s practice\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Lytle Shaw\u0026rsquo;s words: \u0026ldquo;I discovered Clifford while researching Ernst Moir\u0026eacute;; Blachly and I are currently working on documenting his remarkable life and hope to exhibit objects from it soon.\u0026rdquo;\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http://anendlesssupply.co.uk/work/the-clifford-chadwick-clifford-collection\"\u003eNovel\u0026#39;s website\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"actors":[{"id":2060,"name":"Jimbo Blachly","category":{"en":"Creator","nl":"Vervaardiger","fr":"Créateur"}},{"id":2026,"name":"Lytle Shaw ","category":{"en":"Author","nl":"Auteur","fr":"Auteur"}}]}
