Description

4to. [32] pp. Bound in pictorial wraps designed by Jamie Reid to purposefully to appear distressed. Illustrated with color reproductions or photographs of 64 works. Inscribed by Jamie Reid at the title page with a small drawing: "Ours is the 21st Century Ova Towards a New Age." In addition, laid in is a crumpled piece of paper additionally signed and inscribed - "John all love and respect Jamie Reid." The piece of paper also contains Jamie's older website address and email. Some innocuous light horizontal creasing to spine else fine. A rare artists' book designed by Jamie Reid and Garry Mouat, with text by Jamie Reid -a great manifesto on the state of the visual arts on the brink of the nineties. Includes color reproductions of a wide array of Reid's work. This was apparently published in conjunction with the Celtic Surveyor exhibits in Japan and has since has dropped out of sight. In an odd and (perhaps?) purposeful twist, the isbn the book bears is the same as Dave Rimmer's book "Diana Princess of Wales Children's Hospital." OCLC locates no holdings, and this is the only copy we've handled or seen despites years of searching. We will refrain from suggesting that the "John" of the inscription is Mr. Rotten, but the book does appear to have been inscribed to somebody close to Reid.
