Fiction / Poetry / Literature  

Rare catalogue for this important show, held from 22 October to 27 November 1965. Curated by Jasia Reichardt, this show and catalogue showcase the nascent and extremely influential realm that may termed "visual poetry" which has resonated for many years following this exhibition. Including Bob Cobbing, Ian Hamilton Finlay, John Latham, Dom Sylvester Houedard, Henri Chopin, Hansjorg Mayer, Isidore Isou, Maurice Lemaitre, Raoul Hausmann, Nanni Balestrini, Diter Rot, Ernst Jandl, Bernard Heidsieck, Kenelm Cox, John Furnival, Edwin Morgan, Tom Edmonds, Eugen Gomringer, and more, including Lettrisme and the Noigandres group. Overall a very nice clean copy of the catalogue. Comb binding is still strong, with no broken tabs, the top and bottom ones slightly weakened but still strong. There is some light rubbing and scuffing to covers, and a couple of small stains. Some grubbinnes to the bottom right corner / edge of the front and one very very light crease on the back cover. Comes with the rare supplement by Houedard, which is bumped/bent at the top corner but otherwise excellent.
