Bamboosigned, dated 1961 & inscribed verso
Acquired directly from the artist in 2006
In 1961 John Plumb exhibited alongside Richard Hamilton, Bernard Cohen, William Turnbull and Eduardo Paolozzi at Theo Crosby's temporary building for the opening of International Union of Architects Congress (IUAC); the same year he had exhibited at the influential Situations Exhibition in 1960. This had a considerable impact on British art and launched the careers of some of our most important artists. It was a period of innovation, which influenced Plumbs work.
