Thing, 1976
31.5 × 31.5cm, silver reflective outer folder with double inner flaps content of 104 31 x 31cm, 1pp sheets all with texts by Ian Baxter and Ingrid Baxter and other s, found/appropriated images, some especially taken photographs and overall design by the Baxters. The reprinted texts include “Body Works” by Willoughby Sharp & Liza Bear (from Avalanche), “The Pains and Pleasures of Rebirth: Women’s Body Art” by Lucy R. Lippard (from Art in America), and “The Aesthetic in Sport” by David Best (from The British Journal of Aesthetics).
This artist’s book was released by N.E> Thing at the  Agnes Etherington Gallery in Kingston, Ontario during the Montreal ’76 Olympics and may be seen as a conceptual art spin-off/tie in to that important sporting event. The pages celebration physicality in all its forms and in particular sport. 
This is not in perfect condition (it is rarely found without some damage) - the outer silver folder is very worn with creases and fold linesand small tears where the oversize card was not supported, the inner two flaps have come away from the sides (where they were stapled) but internally the sheets are all VG+. 
Limitation is unknown but this is a rare conceptual art book.
