The exhibition opened at the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven in 1977, traveled to the Arnolfini Gallery in Bristol, and closed at the Serpentine Gallery in London in 1979.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the copy that got away from the archive. Tucked inside — still stapled together — are two typewritten sheets on Van Abbemuseum letterhead: the official Dutch-language catalog list from the Eindhoven presentation, dated 10 juni tot en met 10 juli 1977. A working document, not meant to travel. It lists every work in the show — \u003cem\u003eFPRE SU '65\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eSAND MUSLIN '66\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eHEAP 1 '68\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003ePILE '68\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eDREAM OF MARBLE '75\u003c\/em\u003e — with materials noted in Dutch (gaas, doek, gips, mousseline, zand, Hornton-steen, gekerfd) and dimensions in inches.

Sanders Schiedam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlanagan in this period was working with muslin, sand, hessian, canvas, resin, glass, aluminium, polyester — everyday materials handled with deliberate looseness, where the gesture of making was as present as the object itself. These are the works that precede the bronze hares. The conceptual groundwork, before the iconography took over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRudi Fuchs understood what he was looking at. The catalog reflects that — spare, serious, no excess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good. Some toning to pages consistent with age.
