Original exhibition invitation / catalogue card
Annely Juda Fine Art, 11 Tottenham Mews, London
25 January – 16 February 1974

16.5 × 21.5 cm

Offset-printed card with black-and-white photographic portrait to recto and exhibition/biographical details to verso. Photograph by J. S. / Jorge Lewinski.

Condition: good vintage condition. Surface rubbing, light creasing, softened corners, handling marks, and age toning. The marks remain part of the record: evidence of circulation, storage, handling, and transfer. A gallery announcement retained long enough to change status.

Anthea Alley moved from painting toward welded metal sculpture in the late 1950s and 1960s. Her work belongs to a post-war British sculptural field in which industrial material, teaching, public collections, and gallery visibility became part of the work's wider structure.

This card records a 1974 exhibition at Annely Juda Fine Art, before the gallery's later Cork Street history. Image to one side, biography and exhibition data to the other. The artist is shown with the sculpture; the sculpture is reduced to photographic evidence; the exhibition is reduced to a portable printed support.

Not an Artist Placement Group object, but adjacent to a broader British context of art, labour, material systems, and institutional circulation.

Retained exhibition material linking artist, sculpture, gallery, photographer, address, and date.
