A TV Dante Diary II (New Series) / Phillips, Tom; Sackner MA; Sackner RK; Greenaway P., 1984

 Item
Identifier: CC-32374-33943
Scope and Contents This page consists of three small rectangular panels in its right third and a collaged, almost obscured text from typed carbon backing on its left two thirds. The uppermost panel on the right side is a collage made from a logograph that also appears in Phillips' Dante's Diary book, entitled "WHYSPEND." The middle panel is a handwritten, micrographic portion of Phillips diary in which he discusses meetings with Peter [Greenaway] and viewing Edward Muybridge original photographs at the V&A. The lowermost panel consists of a rectangular collage made from the Sackner Archive stationery. The section on the right two-thirds of the drawing consists of the circular drawing WHYSPEND collaged onto the typed carbon backing of "the thirty three sheets of notes to accompany the Thames and Hudson edition of Dante.

He was 80. Finlay, whose work included sculpture, poetry and philosophy, died peacefully at a nursing home in Scotland after a long illness, said Victoria Miro, a spokeswoman for his gallery in London. The artist's relationship with nature lay at the heart of his work, and his most famous legacy is "Little Sparta," the garden of his farmhouse at Stonypath in Dunsyre, Scotland, southwest of Edinburgh. Finlay moved to Stonypath in 1966 and set about transforming the plot into a neoclassical sculpture garden. Every surface, from benches to headstones and obelisks, is inscribed with his words.
