• from the Centre for Fine Print Research, UWE, Bristol's site: In 1986 Brian was responsible, with assistance from Simon and myself, for organising 'The Artist Publisher', an exhibition that went on at the Crafts Council Gallery in Waterloo Place, London SW1. The catalogue, which Brian edited, is an invaluable reference work examining the notion of artists’ publications in the widest possible sense while at the same time tracing the historical precedents that led to artists’ books. Brian died in 1999. A book commemorating his life and work 'The Printed Performance' (RGAP, 2000) gives an insight to his unique contribution to small-press publishing.
