Broadsheet No.1. Devoted to Abstract Art
Broadsheet
London. Lund Humphries. 1951
Sold
This number is published in conjunction with an exhibition of abstract art at the A.I.A. Gallery, 15 Lisle Street, W.C.2. from May 22 to June 11, 1951.
Among the texts Kenneth Martin's 'Abstract Art' stresses that concrete art copies nature only, 'in the laws of its activities', a statement anticipating Mary Martin's contention that the artwork's 'image quality' should be based on internal logic using man-made rather than organic material. Broadsheet accompanied the exhibition, 'Abstract Paintings, Sculptures, Mobiles', organised by Heath at the Artists’ International Association Galleries in May/June 1951. Heath would act as Chairman of the A.I.A. between 1954 and 1964. A second, somewhat flimsy, Broadsheet appeared in July 1952 to accompany the second of the three Fitzroy Street weekend exhibitions.
