Il volume presenta i testi di Valerio Adami (Referto), una conversazione di Amelia Valtolina con Valerio Adami (Nulla dies sine linea), Emilio Tadini (Valerio Adami), Enrico Crispolti (Adami), Alain Jouffroy (Valerio Adami); seguono il catalogo delle opere suddivise per anni (1956-1960; 1961; 1962; 1963) e la biografia dell'artista a cura di Amelia Valtolina. Valerio Adami (1935) nasce a Bologna, ma è a Milano negli anni di guerra. I suoi primi disegni sono disegni di rovine: le case devastate dai bombardamenti. L'atelier di Felice Carena, poi l'incontro a Venezia con Oskar Kokoschka e in seguito l'Accademia di Brera con Achille Funi, sono stati il suo itinerario di formazione. Nel '58 inizia quella vita di viaggi che lo porterà a vivere e lavorare in diverse città d'Europa, negli Stati Uniti, in America Latina, in Israele, in India, e a intrecciare nuove amicizie: lo scrittore Carlos Fuentes, il filosofo Jacques Derrida, i pittori Saul Steinberg, Richard Lindner e Matta, Octavio Paz, Italo Calvino, Luciano Berio sono parte di questa cerchia intellettuale. Dal 1970 lavora in esclusiva con la galleria Maeght."
