 Item — Box: MS F BOX 4277

Additional description

Note

Book survives almost intact. Includes some notes by Arkley. As originally designed, the book featured transparent sheets under which avid home decorators could insert their own preferred swatches and colour choices. Arkley and Juan Davila used ideas from this source for their collaboration, Blue Chip (1991-92).

Works in Arkley’s ‘Mix ’n Match’ show (Tolarno 10/92) were also based on this source. Arkley based many paintings on this source in subsequent years. The website "Arkley Works" lists and dates them: http://arkleyworks.com/?p=5964
