Beschreibung

Copy of a letter from Hamilton Finlay to Mark Francis Director of the Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh, dated 27.10.85. In respect of his entry in the Turner Prize and the material inclued in his section of the brochure produced to accompany the prize; 'After three phonecalls to the Tate Gallery we have at last been able to to get copies of the Turner Prize brochure. I am disgusted by the entry I have been given. It is inaccurate and lacks seriousness to the point of being insulting. Moreover, I supplied the Tate with accurate material, which would help to explain the work, which is surely the point of the text. Their text is a fiction which reduces evrything to the lowest common denominator-presumably of the Tate's idea of what a British artist is obliged to be. To adapt a weel-known phrase of Mr.Whitelaw's, the Tate is (on this evidence) a powerhouse of apathy'. With the original stamped letter addressed to Douglas Maxwell with Finley own mailing stamp 'Today the Region!, Tomorrow the World!'. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 020611
