"Pacita Abad, one of Asia's foremost contemporary painters, passed away a few months after this book was printed and less than one year after she finished 'Pacita's Painted Bridge'. Unbeknown to almost everybody, Pacita completed this massive project while she was critically illa nd undergoing treatment for cancer. Her story is chronicled in the last section of this book 'A Passion to Paint: The Colorful World of Pacita Abad'." --Publisher

"Pacita's Painted Bridge richly and vividly chronicles international artist, Pacita Abad's quest to transform the 'Battleship grey' Alkaff Bridge over the Singapore River, into a vibrantly multi-colored, public outdoor sculpture. The book is beautifully photographed by Michael Liew and details Pacita's persistent pursuit of her dream to paint the Bridge and the artistic challenges she overcame to successfully complete the project."
