£300

Exhibition catalogue published in conjunction with a significant show held at the Institute of Contemporary Arts from 22nd October to 27th November 1965. Texts written by Jasia Reichardt.

‘The work presented in this exhibition crosses the frontier between two quite clearly defined fields of creative activity — poetry and painting. There may be no single accurate definition of this hybrid form of expression — one thing is quite clear, nevertheless — visual poetry in its various forms constitutes the first international poetry movement.’ — From the first introduction’s paragraph, written by Jasia Reichardt.
