 Item
Identifier: CC-49327-70369
Scope and Contents The annotation to the originals of nine maquettes of posters by Bob Cobbing offered for sale reads as follows. The origins and progress of London's theatrical, film andpoetic avant gardes and a significant tranche of the counterculture are traceable through these unique events posters (and one pure artwork) produced by a small and obscuregroup that emerged from the unlikely setting of suburban Hendon and Finchley. Bob Cobbing was the group's guiding spirit and founder, Britain's "major exponent of concrete, visual and sound poetry" (Guardian Obituary). He almost singlehandedly started, or at least inspired, the small DIY press revolution in Britain, founding the influential Writers' Forum, the long running "And' 'zine (copies of which are available above), and revitalising the experimental poetry scene in London in the process.
