A master draughtsman, printmaker and sculptor. His paintings are full of drama, deep melancholy and foreboding, yet their subject matter is, more often than not, the mundane and everyday places of suburbia and the drab underside of the city.

Written by Gavin Fry, the text details the evolution of the artist's work in a clear and perceptive manner, focusing on important developments and particular works. The book contains more than 160 colour plates, black and white illustrations, photographs documenting the artist's life, biographical notes, exhibition lists and a selected bibliography.

Book cover titled "Rick Amor" with an artist's painting of a large concrete bridge with tall pillars over a highway, and a small figure of a person standing near the base of the pillars.
