Scope and Contents
The exhibition was curated by Daniel Traister who contributed a critical essay. Marvin Sackner wrote the preface, "Humumentism": The Works and Ideas of Tom Phillips. Sackner coined a word, "Humumentism" to signify the art form of Tom Phillips, one that intregrates humanistic activities through individual creative thought that falls outside the current popular conception of artistic presentations. This is a varient copy with a yellow rather than red border on the cover. The Sackner Archive lent Phillips' works to this exhibition. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
