Archive for Mare/Terra / Finlay, Ian Hamilton; Harvey, Michael; Goodricke, Susan; Costley R; Jandl E., 1973

 Item
Identifier: CC-12809-13096
Scope and Contents

In Sep 1973, Finlay writes to Michael Harvey requesting that Harvey and Goodricke make a ceramic-concrete maquette, based upon a Ron Costley sketch, for the Stuttgart Max Plank project. Finlay provides detailed instructions on the lettering for the work. A month later, he comments on the Harvey efforts indicating that he wants a "Matisse'y" effect which depends upon a flat surface as opposed to a kinetic effect that looses the balance between the visual and the word part. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
