Paperback. Condition: Near fine in wraps. First Edition. 25 x 33cm 88pp near fine paperback exhibition catalogue. The first ever joint exhibition of two iconic British artists, Rita Donagh (b.1939) and Richard Hamilton (1922-2011), who together shared a concern for human rights and justice. Curated by Barbara Dawson, Civil Rights etc. was to be Richard s last exhibition before he died on 12th September 2011. Following on discussions between Barbara and Richard, it transpired that Richard wanted this to be a joint exhibition with Rita Donagh to illuminate in two entirely separate visual languages, their deeply felt concerns and commentaries on political and social affairs. Civil Rights etc. explored their responses to current events, social conflict and global warfare. The exhibition featured works responding to the 2nd Iraq War including Shock and Awe (2007-08), War Games (2009-10) and Maps of Palestine (2009-10) comparing the original 1947 UN partition of lands between Israel and Palestine with the actual status in 2010, as well as the Swingeing London series from the 70 s showing the arrest of Mick Jagger and art dealer Robert Fraser.
