The Printed Performance

Description

Publicatie geeft een overzicht van de kunstenaarsboeken van de Britse kunstenaar-uitgever Brian Lane (St. Albans 16-08-1942, 25-10-1999). - Brian Lane's unique contribution to small-press publishing began in the mid 1960s at Gallery Number Ten in Blackheath, South East London.
