paul robertson — Mon, 22 Feb 2021 09:00:22 +0000

London: Transport for London, 2012 15 x 7.5cm, 8pp (single folded sheet). One of the giveaway tube maps issued in London each of which has a design on the front by a different artist – here Whiteread has "excavated" under the front page of the leaflet to show the line underneath with the punning title the "hole of London". Fine.

London: Tate Modern, 2006

21 x 15cm, 8pp (single folded sheet).

BROKEN ENGLISH. 1991. VERY EARLY “YBA” CATALOGUE.

paul robertson — Sat, 28 Mar 2020 14:39:23 +0000

London: Serpentine Gallery, 1991 21 x 21cm, 12pp self covers. Exhibition catalogue for this very early YBA show which took place very soon after the Freeze exhibition that introduced Hirst et al to the world. The catalogue avoids mention of the artists as a group (the curator actually argues that they are NOT a group) and certainly no mention of "Young British Artist"; can be found in the pages because the term had not been coined at this point. Each of the artists were selected for the show by Andrew Graham-Dixon and are given a one page in the catalogue with one b/w reproduction - Hirst has isolated Elements Swimming In The Same Direction for the Purpose of an Understanding. One small mark on back cover but otherwise very good. Scarce.
