Peter Coker RA: A Retrospective Exhibition (1973) (With Letter from Artist)

Catalogue for a retrospective of Coker’s realist painting in 1973.  As Frederick Gore writes in his detailed introduction: ‘Peter Coker began as a painter in the fifties, before the sunburst of American abstraction pushed into the shade a realistic movement which seemed to offer at least one clear main direction to European art’.  Includes a letter from the artist concerning the purchase of one of his paintings. Condition: covers a little marked and slightly edge-worn, otherwise very good.
