Scope and Contents
This periodical was edited by Barry Flanagan. According to Thames and Hudsons Dictionary of Arts and Artists, Flanagan is "a British sculptor who has emerged since the 1960s as one of the most interesting, original and distinguished contemporary sculptors. He studied at St Martin's School of Art 1964-6, at the time when Caro and King were teaching there. Initially Flanagan made abstract work with a variety of materials -- cloth, rope, sand, polystyrene, light and glass -- some of which were Environmental installations. Flanagan also made films, drawings, etchings and furniture. From the 1970s he started working in metals, stone, clay and marble: his 'anarchic wit' became even more pronounced in this work; he also began making discreet references to traditional carving and modelling in mysterious, fossil-like sculptures, or references to prehistoric and Celtic iconography. In the late 1970s and early 1980s Flanagan finally turned to explicit but idiosyncratic figurative sculpture often cast in bronze, of hares, helmets and horses." The issue number of 13 on the cover is signified by 1978 minus 1965! -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
