Softcover. Condition: Fine, no inscriptions. 168pp. Over 130 illustrations, the majority in colour. This catalogue was produced to accompany the exhibition of work by the German artist Kurt Schwitters (1887-1948) held at Tate Britain from 30 January to 12 May, 2013. The exhibition then toured to the Sprengei Museum, Hanover. The exhibition concentrated on the artist's lesser known late works, made during his time in Britain, but sets the scene by recounting his earlier achievements.

Forced to flee Germany in 1936, Schwitters took refuge first in Norway and then, after the German invasion of Norway, in Britain. The last 8 years of his life were intensely productive, and culminated in his famous Merz Barn installation in England’s Lake District.
