Published on the occasion of Clive Barker: Heads and Chariots, held at Anthony d'Offay, London, 1–26 July 1974.

Small square exhibition catalogue for Barker's 1974 presentation of heads, helmets, and chariot forms. The publication includes an essay by Roland Penrose and tipped-in black-and-white photographic plates of Barker's chrome-like sculptural objects.

Barker's work sits within British Pop while remaining closely tied to found objects, casting, surface, disguise, and the transformation of functional forms into sculpture. Helmets, heads, mouths, vehicles, and industrial shapes appear as polished supports: part object, part relic, part prop.

A retained 1970s exhibition catalogue from Anthony d'Offay, with strong links to British Pop, post-Duchampian sculpture, and the object as remade image.

Condition: good vintage condition. Age toning, light surface wear, softened corners, and handling marks throughout. The marks remain part of the record: evidence of circulation, storage, handling, and transfer.

Shipping and handling included in the listed price.
