AJAR. 1967. VG+ CONDITION WITH FEW SURFACE HANDLING CREASES.

Dunsyre: Wild Hawthorn Press, 1967
57 x 44.5cm, black silkscreen on gold thin paper. A concrete poem where the word “ajar” is repeated several times in a vertical column. Because of the repetition of the same letters “wedge shapes” can be left in the text and the words still read easily diagonally – hence reflecting the angles of an item being “ajar”.
Finlay made these prints on low quality wrapping paper and they are often in bad condition with creases unavoidable – this is the best example we have ever seen (although there are some mild handling creases still). Murray 5.9.
