The last few weeks as part of the probate process and gathering the assets of a friends, I have been tasked with moving his library to a safer place, out of the damp and ready to be put into some kind of order. He was an artist and editor working from the early 1960s through to 2020. The books are a treasure trove of magazines from America, volumes on hundreds of western and eastern artists, exhibitions on just about everything with scholarly works on art movements and many, many monographs.
For me this is like a hundred birthdays rolled into one I can get lost trawling through them and have a pile by my desk as we speak.
