From Circle Press: "A production in three parts by this system artist , contained in a wooden box with perspex cover.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Book. 421 x 303mm. A complete set of six volumes (1988-1991) of this richly illustrated, portfolio periodical with each issue's title letterpress printed on the front cover, together with different coloured end papers. The colophon is printed in a grey, red and black constructivist design on white stock across all volumes. Each volume was published in a limited edition of one hundred and fifty copies, except for Number 2, which was produced in an edition of 120 numbered copies, and Number 3 is not numbered. Blank Page was a biannual portfolio publication, designed and edited by Philip Dobree, with Adrian Self acting as literary editor. It is notable for its display of original works of pure abstraction (many signed and numbered), with critical texts interspersed throughout by significant theorists, writers and designers - these essays have been designed with a strict red and black constructivist aesthetic in mind, continuing the graphic style that unites all volumes. For example, in Volume 4, a cut-out black and white image by Douglas Allsop has been embedded with Geoff Bennington's text, "Not One". Presented as original multiples, the works featured include: lithographs; screen prints; relief prints; woodcuts; collages, etc. Volume 6, the final publication, is particularly rich in its gathering of many leading practitioners of pure abstraction, such as Charles Biederman, Cesar Domela, Anthony Hill, Michael Kidner, Francois Morellet and George Rickey. Taken individually, and as a collective series, Blank Page provides an impressive and extensive survey of the plastic arts and European constructivist design made during the period of its publication.

Perspex and Plywood. Condition: Very Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Near Fine. 2 v., [6] loose plates, 1 board : ill. facsimiles. ; 45 x 35 cm. Consists of: 1. Continuity Book 2. Notebook (facsimile), 3. Loose title-page. 4. Three photo etchings and three photo lithographs (each one signed and titled by artist and contained their own individual folders, each folder a different color). and 5. The practical homemade computer (powered by the elastic membrane of the title). When packed & repacked correctly (an impressive exercise in it's own right) these elements fit together snugly in a large compartmented rectangular plywood and perspex container, a container way too elegant to be referred to as just a box. Edition is limited to 300 copies, each signed by the artist. Designed by the artist in collaboration with Jack Shirreff, the master craftsman of 107 Workshop where the work was produced. Condition of all elements: Virtually flawless, fine. All elements fresh, unhandled and free of wear. [P.S. No description completely captures the large number of moving parts packed into this one very fine package; our experience handling this title a half a dozen times or so over the years is that a prudent collector will be sure to check that the two small, custom, brown bakelite head pins that anchor the plastic arcs of the "practicle computer" are present in their original form.]. A mind boggling artist's book bristling with energy, pushing at the boundaries of the book arts genre. "When stretched, elasticized cloth contains energy. Only the warp is elastic, but - with an image drawn on it and stretched between two batons - distortions due to that energy are revealed. In this case, because I myself had imparted the energy, it was a matter of taste. To eliminate this limitation, I used fiberglass rods to provide the tension needed for stretching the elastic. I couldn't have imagined the forms that would result.". First Edition, First Printing. [Ltd. Edition of 300].

Condition: Good. A production in three parts by this 'system artist', contained in a wooden box with perspex cover. The first part, a 'Practical', is an example of a home-made computer used to generate the images which follow (made from wood, perspex, and an elastic membrane). The second is made up of three signed etchings and three signed lithos. The third consists of two spiral note books: 1) a 54 pp Continuity Book, 25 x 21 cm and 2) a 72 pp facsimile of the artist's Note Book, 20 x 17 cm - 300 signed copes, 40 proofs - the whole measures 46 x 36 x 7cm.Kidner's first solo exhibition was held at St Hilda's college, Oxford in 1959 where he showed his After Image paintings. However it was not until 1965 that he became recognised as a pioneer of Op Art following the publicity surrounding the exhibition called The Responsive Eye organised by William Seitz at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Both Kidner and Bridget Riley's work were included. The importance of Op Art in the canon of Western art history is well-established. Artworks which explored optical reception had been created since earlier in the century, though they were usually experiments and three-dimensional work. It was Kidner's generation which made optics the focus of painting and Kidner himself who can be said to have produced the first Op Art paintings in colour. Without losing this rigorous, intellectual approach, Kidner manages to make his work resonate emotionally. Throughout his life, he retained an interest in unpredictable world events that provoked unplanned elements within his work but he somehow managed to intimate an underlying order through his use of form and colour. He survived to see a major show of his work from the 1960s, 'Dreams of the World Order' at the Royal Academy in September 2009. Solo exhibitions of Kidner's work include Serpentine Gallery; Grabowski Gallery; Victoria Art Gallery, Bath; Arnolfini Gallery and Royal West of England Academy, Bristol; Henry Moore Institute, Leeds; Galerie Hubert Winter, Vienna; Betty Parsons, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art, Poland; and exhibitions in Rio de Janeiro, Paris, Stockholm, Helsinki and Budapest. His papers and archive were gifted to the Tate in 2010. Kidner has work in numerous public collections, including Tate; V&A; Arts Council; Government Art Collection; Contemporary Arts Society; Henry Moore Sculpture Trust; New College, Oxford; Southampton City Art Gallery; Walker Gallery, Liverpool; Gulbenkian Foundation; Sintra Museum of Modern Art, Portugal; Stuyvesant Foundation; Poznan Museum, Poland; Malmo Konsthall, Sweden; Museum of Modern Art, New York; and National Gallery of Australia.
