PAOLOZZI (Eduardo)
As Is When [exhibition catalogue]
Very good, box rubbed to extremities and slightly crushed, loose leaves and lithographs bright and presentable.
An attractive little Paolozzi confection combining several related items with the scarce catalogue, issued as loose sheets in a box, for the exhibition of Paolozzi’s collages inspired by the philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein. ‘Mechanised melody. Melodious interpretation of mechanical theme… What he thinks and knows. How to find fictional correlatives for his beliefs. The result is so violent as to extort a scream, either soon abates or it must destroy the sufferer.’ (From the introduction by Paolozzi titled ‘Wild Track for Ludwig’).
