A Survey of the Avant-Garde in Britain, Vol. I. Gallery House Press, London, 1972

“In presenting exhibitions under the title of avant-garde it might suggest that I am affirming the usefulness of the concept and it might even be interpreted that there is a characteristic, common in all such work, which makes it avant-garde. This however is not my intention; much of the work in the exhibition is attempting to redefine the basis of art activity along less paradoxical lines and in accordance with a variety of conventions which have previously been alien to the activity.” – excerpt from the introduction by Rosetta Brooks
