David Hicks on...


Edition : First / London / Britwell Books / 1972 / Hardcover. / Near Fine / VG+
4to. 3 volumes. Unpaginated (ca 180pp each). Cloth in printed dustwrappers. Colour and Black & White plates. Split to bottom of slipcase.

Hicks has a hardened habit of applying a softer shade of modernism to period spaces, with excellent results. His main tools seem to be colour and pattern design. The 3 volume set shows application of his ideas in a variety of spaces and his ideas about surface, volume and history. Scarce as a set.
