I have another patron who wants to sell a
very rare 1978 exhibition catalogue by N.E. Thing Co. Ltd.
It is 365 pages, printed in a limited
edition of 500 -- and signed by the artist, Iain Baxter.
I think the title is "The N.E. Thing Co.,
Ltd. Book" -- It was produced for an exhibition at the Kunsthalle Basel,
Switzerland curated by Jean-Christophe Ammann.
The following is printed on Page
4
"For many years the N.E. Thing Co. Ltd. has
wanted to do a compendium of company ideas, activities & works. This became
possible when Jean-Christophe Ammann of the Kunsthalle Basel, was touring
Canada, Spring of 77, to select a show of Canadian artists for Basel,
Switzerland, June-July 1978. On meeting Jean-Christophe Ammann the original idea
of the compendium was rekindled, because he felt it would be the best and only
way to rpresent the ideas, projects and works of the N.E. Thing Company in his
Basel exhibition.
Iain Baxter May 30, 1978"
If anyone is
interested in making an offer, please contact me directly and I will pass on the
information.
