Big Pic Box by Andrew HolmesCall Number: RISD ARTISTS' BOOKS OVER H735B
Andrew Holmes is Britain's best-known hyperrealist painter as well as an architect and graphic designer. Big Pic Box contains 18 plates, each composed of nine Polaroid images that can be assembled in any arrangement to form a composite work, Nine Times, together with a booklet with colour illustrations of the work from which Nine Times evolved. The images were the most controversial of his work at the time of publication, in both form and content: unlikely combinations of fragments of contemporary living -- urban waste, trucks, flowers, animals and images culled from the TV screen -- arranged without distinction.
