Bound in publisher's original pictorial wraps. From rear cover (in full): "The child who stole toys and terrified a playground is now the artist who teases out the exploitation within our rituals. Hated by the fruity nobles of Bond Street's art establishment. Yet Malcolm Poynter's international reputation has been growing steadily for over seven years. Now Poynter is set to become the most talked about British artist of the 1980's. Here he speaks, without restraint, about his images, his ideas & about his astonishing life. This is the most representative photographic survey so far of the work of Britain's most restless & disturbing young artist". Slight handling wear, otherwise a nice clean softcover copy. Unpaginated (36pp + covers). Scarce signed copy. RARE. Seller Inventory # 001388
