About this Item

Guide to Place, an exhibition organised by Roger Coleman employing paintings by Robyn Denny, Ralph Rumney and Richard Smith at the ICA gallery at 17-18 Dover Street, London. "Place is a collaborative expression of certain ideas common to the three painters on the relationship between painting and the spectator". Single folded sheet printed one side only which folds down to 10 x 24cm. Exceptionally rare and ephemeral item, no catalogue was issued, for seminal exhibition. Not illustrated in ICA 1946-1968, but featured in The Hidden Mod in Modern Art by Thomas Crow (page 32): "The rules and arrangement of Place were to work against prolonged fixation on any one canvas, encouraging instead views past, through, to the sides, and all around".
