Art Net (First three Issues) (1975/1976)

First three issue of this important architectural zine. Peter Cook, architect and co-founder of the avant-garde group Archigram, established Art Net in London in 1972. The publication acted as both a gallery and platform to showcase innovative architectural ideas in the 1970s.

• Net 1 (1975): includes ‘Colin Rowe Observed’, the work of Ludwig Leo of Berlin, ‘Metaphor in art and architecture’ by John Stezaker, and articles on simulated architecture, new art magazines, etc.
•  Net 2 (1976): includes new projects by Alison and Peter Smithson, Jeanne Sillett, and Peter Wilson. ‘A scurrilous comparison’ between the in-groups of London and New York, and comment on the New York Five by Alan Colquhoun and Yvonne Dean.
• Net 3: Forty London Architects (1976)

Condition: some slight shelf-wear to covers, otherwise very good.
