HEAD OF GWYN HEADLEY. 1987.

Little Sparta: Wild Hawthorn Press, 1987
12 x 8.5cm, 1pp. Artist’s card with a photograph of a sculpted head of the author of Follies. A National Trust Guide which had angered Finlay for its description of Little Sparta. The head was later used in the sculpture Three Heads (now in the Glasgow Museum of Modern Art) – the sculpture shows the three heads of Waldemar Januszczak, Gwyn Headley and Catherine Millet in baskets as if they had been guillotined. Finlay was not that forgiving a man in his middle age.
Interestingly the work went missing from the storage of the museum and had to be remade in 2013. VG+.
