This really should have been SO much better...I still do have the Boston @ London expo catalogues though

Nice! I think this used to lurk about on UBUWeb too.

ReplyDeleteQuite prob!
The first time I saw it was on SBS TV out here at the time of the exhibitions...great catalogues if you ever see them. Input and partly curated by Greil Marcus if I remember rightly. When I was first in London I ended up 'seeing' someone about ten years older than me and they had some original Paris 68 posters! Also turned me on to Scott Walker. There is also a great book that collated a lot of the posters/graphics from the time, another of my 'holy grails'!
