IAN HAMILTON FINLAY. A DAVID. MARAT. 1986.

London: Victoria Miro Gallery, 1986
21 x 10.5cm, 42pp announcement card for a solo show. This card has two drawings – one each side – by Gary Hincks that is not reproduced anywhere else as far as we know. The plinth on one side shows a republican rosette with ribbons left with the words “A DAVID. MARAT”. The second drawing is of the back of the same plinth but with gallery details over it. David, of course, painted the famous death of Marat painting, here Marat returns the favour with a simple tribute on the stone.
This is strictly an exhibition invite but it also could be regarded as an artist’s card which was not released or categorised as such by Finlay. After some consideration we have left it as an announcement. VG+.
