FORM NR. 3. 1966.
£145.00
Cambridge: Form Magazine, 1966
24 x 24cm, 32pp plus typographic wrappers. This single number from series of magazines edited by Philip Steadman, Mike Weaver and Stephen Bann – here the third number which contains a section called “Poems by Ian Hamilton Finlay” which reproduced four works = Star/Steer, Purse-net Boat, Line Boats and the untitled but usually known as Planet. Interestingly the “circle” of Planet is placed more anti-clockwise than the print in Linea Sur of the same work (the reason may just be a mistake in layout in one of the publications). Purse-net Boa and Line Boats are less commonly found and there is an annotation by Finlay explaining that a Purse-seine is a “new kind of net that makes an actual ring arund the fish. It has been immensely profitable.”.
Elsewhere there are works by Ernst Jandl, Paul de Vree, Kenneth Robinson and articles Charles Biederman, ‘The Electrical -Mechanical Spectacle’ by El Lissitzky., Great Little Magazines No 3: ‘G’ with work by Kurt Schwitters, Theo van Doesburg, Mies van der Rohe, and Miklos Bandi. VG+
