BARRY FLANAGAN. 1980.

London: Waddington Galleries, 1980

15 x 21cm, 24pp. Card covers. Exhibition catalogue reproducing b/w full images of relatively early Flanagan sculptures mostly in wood – thankfully with few rabbits amongst them – clearly a time before Flanagan allowed them to breed. In fairness, the one early rabbit sculpture reproduced here is a wonderful abstraction using found rocks – a far cry from the later huge public artworks of smoothly rendered, jumping and frolicking march bunnies. Q:- By the way, en passant, what do you call a Glaswegen bunny? A:- Wee Rab. (See it pays to read these descriptions sometimes!)
