Loch Ranoch: Maris, 2020
30 x 21cm, 2pp archival inject print on Hahnemuhle German Etching paper inviting Paul Robertson to a “requiem supper” by Alexander and Susan Maris commemorating the 50th Anniversary of Celtic (Kinloch Rannoch) Scottish Symphony by Joseph Beuys and Henning Christiansen. The event has a menu of soup, fish and other Scottish gourmet items but sadly the event was “in spirit only” and a theoretical meet up (in part because the COVID-19 pandemic had meant lock-downs in parts of Scotland were in place and travel dsicouraged). Signed by both Alexander and Sue Maris on the reverse. VG+.
JOINT:
30 x 21cm, 1pp press release for the event. VG+.

Warszawa : Galeria Zacheta, 1995
21 x 15 x 6cm, grey printed card slipcase content of 22 volumes of pamphlets from different participating artists in this large exhibition in the Zachęta National Gallery in Warsaw commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the end of the second World War. Each volume is 21 x 15cm, pagination varies. Finlay's booklet is 21 x 15cm, 24pp plus wrappers. String bound. It includes various images of works including Inscription (a quote by Mathiez on Robespierre) shown on a blackboard, and Sundial as well as a stone inscription with a text taken from Finlay's Detached Sentences on The French Revolution. Most of the works displayed were inspired by Finlay's fascination with the events in France after the fall of the Bastille.
The sundial has a latin inscription carved into it - E-CAELO. That translates as "Out of heaven" - which clearly refers to the sun rays that hit the gnomon and create the shadow. Other artists include Christian Boltanski, Jochen Gerz, Anselm Kiefer, Jannis Kounellis, Gabriel Orozco, Arnulf Rainer, Lawrence Weiner amongst others. All booklets are in VG+ condition. The outer slip case (being very fragile and cheaply made) is a little torn and battered in places. A scarce publication especially complete.

Two colour photographs (each 10 x 15cm) of a small maquette for a major installation in Den Haag - ET IN ARCADIA EGO .
This work was stolen from the Ingleby Gallery and it is known who the thief is (the work was in his bathroom on display for many years) but despite the person writing this telling the police who and where the work was they refused to investigate without further evidence. The same thief also stole significant items from Richard Demarco's storage unit in Edinburgh in 2013. There you have it.

Paris: Centre Pompidou, 2019
24.5 x 33cm, thick printed card bound together with elastic band closures. A drawing board with two of the artist's installations on front and back - the lights spell out arrive and depart - an obvious reference to birth and death. This was an unlimited edition issued at the time of the major career surveying Paris exhibition. Initially "Faire son Temps" was envisaged as a major retrospective but the artist refused and insisted that new work be on display along with earlier material. This example is unwrapped in original shrink wrap plastic. VG++.

Paris: Galerie Marian Goodman, 2018
19.5 x 25.5 x 4.5cm, two part cloth covered box content of a lenticular photograph taking two images from Saynètes comiques of 1974 - where the artist's performance in a black suit and hat consisted of him pretending to hang himself - only to show in a second photograph that the rope was fake. The title translates to "Death for a Laugh". When one moves the photograph the viewer can see one or the other image. From the 2000s onwards, Boltanski has increasingly used lenticular prints.
This is one of 200 signed and numbered copies on a label on the inside of the box lid. VG+.
