This exhibition was the first complete showing of Lissitzky's work in England. David Elliot contributed a chronological essay on Lisstizky's career, and Lissitzky himself a posthumous autobiography and essays descibing his works. The poster, "Beat the Whites with the Red Wedge," which is illustrated in the catalogue was loaned by the Stedelijk van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven as a letterpress reprinting from 1968. The Sackner Archive holds a copy of this important political print which is thought to be an original print from 1919 and differs in imagery from this reprint. The Sackner Archive also holds Proun 2D listed but not illustrated in the catalogue, For the Voice, USSR in Construction, and the catalogue for the International Press Exhibition. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
