Orginal broadside. 42.9 x 30.2 cm., b&w photocollage portrait with hand blocked text in speech bubble on verso, text in reverse white around left, top end right edges, recto: text and titles in black, the latter running down right edge, two detourned comic strips on foot. N.p. [Stockholm?], n.p., n.d., c. 1968-1969. £775.00A crisp copy, rolled, one drawing pin hole apiece on three corners, the other corner with the tip missing. Perhaps not as scarce as its complete absence in Worldcat (as a named item outside of a vertical file) suggests but still jolly rare. A copy donated by Hunt to the V&A's ?You Say You Want A Revolution?' show. This cataloguer has only seen a couple in his twenty or so years of familiarity with this sort of material.Ronald Hunt is an art historian and Newcastle University's former fine art librarian (shooed into positon by Richard Hamilton) who gathered together a group of young libertarian, leftist, art-students around him to produce a journal with the urine inspired title ?Icteric' (meaning ?jaundiced').

The détourned image of Brigitte Bardot, at the height ot her powers, with the speech bubble text 'Poetry will be made by all not by one' (derived from the Comte De Lautréamont) relates to the French Situ inspired ?Interview with BB' on the recto where ?she' discourses on capitalism using a mélange of Debord/Vaneigem and Frankfurt School theorist Herbert Marcuse' ideas about consumer society. It was produced in relation to, or prefiguring, Ronald Hunt and Pontus Hulten's 1969 curated show at the Moderna Museet Stockholm entitled ?Poetry Must be Made By All/Transform The World'. The Bash Street School of the title and illustrations refers to/is taken from the much loved comic strip from The Beano featuring an anarchic class of kids and a disciplinarian teacher.…
