Scope and Contents

Album contains colour photographs, arranged in chronological order, by exhibition. These exhibitions include Sculpture in a Garden (1979); The Artist in Search of... (1986); Maverick, or Who's Afraid of Edith Simon (1987); The Timeless Image (1988); The New Underground (1989); People in Papercut and Sculpture (1990); Moderation Be Damned (1990); Lovely Odd Fish (1990); Signals (1991); The Brilliant Alternative Portrait Gallery (1992); Discoveries (1993); and The Cutting Edge (1993). Photographs depict sculptures, scalpel paintings, and other paintings in situ in exhibition spaces. A small number also depict Edith Simon and friends in these same spaces preparing works. Individual photographs may include identifying information on the rear, but they have not been removed from their original sleeves owing to preservation concerns. The 'Signals II' (1991) exhibition is listed in this album, but no related photographs are included. This album also included two postcards to Edith Simon, one from Dennis Goodwin (1999); the other from 'Eileen' (1991).
