A standout effort from Ron King's great Circle Press. Provenance: To us at auction which was featuring "Property of a Georgia Institution". QUOTE From "A Tribute to Ian Tyson": "The British artist Ian Tyson (1933â2021) executed a vast body of works throughout a decades-long career, actively producing work right up until his passing in October this year. Tyson may have been best known in some circles as a "book artist," given the extensive body of his artists' books. Tyson first published his art through Ron King's notably collaborative Circle Press and subsequently founded two imprints of his own: Tetrad Press in Londonâwhich published the first edition of Tom Phillip's seminal work A Humumentâand "ed.it" when he moved from London to Provence in the 1990s. Inclined toward collaboration himself, Tyson often worked with contemporary avant-garde poets. Rather than merely illustrating poems, Tyson created abstract visual imagery that responded to the tone and structure of texts."
