We aim to dispatch all orders within 24 to 48 hours.

We prefer to use Royal Mail “Signed and Tracked“ option where possible but for some larger or more valuable items we may insist on using direct priority couriers.

We charge flat rate shipping ( up to a certain weight or value) based on three zones:

PACKING
We try to keep costs down and we are also aware of the effects of packing on the environment.

Where possible we try to recycle packaging materials. If you require new pristine packing boxes/envelopes (say for a gift) then please let us know.

Large posters are usually rolled and sent in firm tubes - if you require flat packing for any large item then please let us know on ordering:in such cases, there may be a surcharge to cover the extra costs.

Other items are send in appropriate packaging.

INSURANCE
We will cover all shipments with full loss insurance up to £250. Thereafter a surcharge is needed.

We will consider sending items without full insurance but this is at the purchaser’s decision and risk. If you wish us to do this then please indicate in writing what you want us to do.





Unoriginal Sins is an established venture trading in the field of the contemporary and modern avant garde movements from 1900 to the present day. We have a vast inventory of books, documents, artworks, ephemera, object multiples, LPs and other digital media as well as representing major collections from significant artists.

We trade almost entirely online - we purchase new material all the time and offer regular clients email lists (which you can sign up to here) of new arrivals. Soon after the distribution of those lists, new items are placed online so it is worth returning regularly to this site to see what new things are for sale.

It may be possible to visit in person and see our inventory but that is by appointment only - please email us. We can supply references for new clients should that be required.

We are always looking for new material to add to our stocks - we have a desiderata here but we are interested in all material that is similar to our core interests. Do get in touch.

ART-LANGUAGE. 1970 – 1978. A CONTINUOUS RUN OF 10 NUMBERS

£1,100.00

Art + Language
ART-LANGUAGE Vol. 1 Nr 1
Chipping Norton: Art & Language, February 1970
21.5 x 13.5cm, 32pp. Original card covers. First edition of this inaugural number of the important conceptual art journal with articles by Sol LeWitt, Dan Graham, Lawrence Weiner, David Bainbridge and Michael Baldwin. LeWitt’s Sentences on conceptual art. Graham’s Poem-Schema and Weiner’s Statements had all been previously published elsewhere but being in a single journal allowed their views to be compared – LeWitt’s 10th sentence is “Ideas alone can be works of art: they are in a chian of development that may eventually find other form. All ideas may not be made physical.” – compare that with Weiner’s more famous and more readily quoted dictum regarding the requirement that “1. an artist may construct a work 2. a work may be fabricated 3. a work need not be built. A reasonable assumption is that each being equal and consistant with the intent of an artist the decision as to condition rests within the needs of the receiver upon the occasion of receivership.” A VG + to near fine copy.
