Soft cover. Condición: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Pictorial stiff wrappers (softcover), 79 pages : color illustrations ; 23 cm. Very good/fine, minimal shelf-wear. Inscribed by John Walter. In this compact but highly original publication, artist John Walter identifies a 'shonky' tendency in art that has previously gone under the radar, bringing into focus artworks that are hand-made but not well crafted, that push the boundaries of good taste and orderliness. Walter illustrates his theory with examples of awkward, funny, exuberant art from across the past forty years, ranging from sculpture and performance to painting and architecture. Novelists Zoë Strachan and Louise Welsh broaden this exploration of the shonky into the world of literature in their 'Letter from Monkswood', while in 'The Shonky Factor' Walter assesses a list of artists for their shonkiness levels. Inscribed by Author(s).
