London: Television South West, 1987

30 x 21cm, 60pp plus card covers. Exhibition catalogue for a series of (in truth mostly dull) site specific / land works by George Wyllie, Kate Witeford, Antony Gormley, Richard Wilson, Holly Warburton, Hannah Collins, Edward Allington and others. One exception here is Wyllie's massively popularist yet still critically satisfying Straw Locomotive hung from a crane in Glasgow and Wilson is as always good for a look. Fine.

Liverpool: Liverpool Biennial, 2008 21 x 15cm, 8pp (single folded sheet) - the announcement for the major public artwork by Wilson where an eight m diameter oval slice out of the former Yates Wine Lodge building was made to turn over and over using huge hydraulic pistons. It was a spectacular work. VG+.

London: Saachi Gallery, 1999 10.5 x 15cm, 2pp. Artist's postcard displaying the first incarnation of the artist's signature work where a room is filled with sump oil such that the surface is highly reflective and becomes a mirror. The huge installation is here shown from the time when the gallery was based in the former Greater London Council HQ in Lambeth (which was sold off after Margaret Thatcher abolished the council in revenge for its left wing and highly popular policies). VG+.
