Sketchbook no. 13 (mid 1970s?)



Recycled loose-leaf account book (mid 1970s?)

180 pages, 19 x 23

State Library of Victoria: Howard Arkley collection, MS 14217, series 2, no.13 [F BOX 4254]

Almost all the book is blank except for the opening pages, which contain sprayed marks (tests?). The book seems to date from the same period as Arkley’s ‘white’ paintings and works on paper (c.1974-77).

Reproduction here shows the opening page (typical example).
