Art in a classless society & vice versa (Special Edition of 20 finely bound copies)

A study of cultural eccentricities operating within the confines of Antipodean normalcy. Copiously illustrated with the masterpieces of avant gard, centre gard and derrier gard artists, along with a text that is not only astonishingly profound, but also surprisingly readable, from the hand of the celebrated author Donald Friend. Sydney : Richard Griffin, 1985. Folio, 85pp. illustrated throughout, one of 20 copies printed on Teeton Text, signed by Donald Friend and Richard Griffin, and bound by Griffin in full embossed morocco, pictorial only, in a custom slipcase.
