Arnhem, Holland: Sonsbeek Festival, 1972 Three volumes (A - H, I - R, S- Z) , uniformly 13 x 17.5cm with a total of almost 1,000 pages. The extensive catalogue for the huge (and four yearly) sculpture show that frequently catches each the zeitgeist perfectly (the 1968 earlier show represented the pop artists and before that Klein and Arman etc) . Each artist is displayed in a standard format - a full page b/w of the work followed by a faux index card description in Dutch and English - most artists displayed more than a single work. Artists include Andre, Brouwn (mispelled Brown!), Buren, Darboven, Flanagan, Graham, Long, Merz, Oppenheim, Serra, Snow and many, many more. A delightful publication which is well designed and all that a catalogue should be. Very good (although the spine of one volume has a few creases) and scarce. Price is for all 3 volumes together
