Kurt Schwitters
Untitled
1937

Prob. made in Norway where in Jan 1937 Kurt followed his son Ernst into exile, the Nazis having begun confiscating his work from German museums. '1920' on the mount was a misattribution by the gallerist to whom Ernst sold several of Schwitters' pictures in the 1950s

A beautiful little collage on paper. 10.8 x 8.6 cm image on a 24.8 x 18.4 cm mount.

C17 commonplace book index belonging to Whitelock Bulstrode (MS 3244, container 1.1) @ransomcenter.bsky.social. Can’t help but think immediately of @djbduncan.bsky.social and his splendid work on the history of the book index

When she first showed the rotting piece, at the ICA, it split and they had to close the gallery. It hung around…

Posthumous LP of the Week: Cardiacs' LSD

Cardiacs' LSD is a triumph of creativity and friendship over adversity, and a testament to the enduring uniqueness of Tim Smith’s artistic vision, says Sean Kitching

Interesting that you call them contemporary, in that they sort of disappeared, died (well, one literally), and have generally had a very slow but continual output since the 1980s. They do seem to sit outside of time, which Sean Kitching very nicely said at the end of his article on the new record:

Uniformbooks @uniformbooks.bsky.social · 6d

The best new music I’ve heard all year is by Cardiacs*, who are admittedly ‘my favourite group’, if you can have such a thing at a later age. Their new record might be declaredly titled LSD, but there’s no evidence I can hear of that drug or any other really.

*wholly marmite, I am aware.

Missed this one, great publisher; Byron Rogers‘ biography is excellent.
