Invested £2 in a little book of Bill Jacklin's work (up to 1992), with the intention of ripping out these pages and putting them in little frames -- love these images. 1992 must have been the start of his "skaters" images. Previous work was very crowded with figures -- letting the light in was an inspired move.
And don't they move! But it's the spaciousness that appeals to me, not just the movement.
The book came from an art bookshop right beside Tate Modern - as well as these sorts of remainders, they have lots of magazines (Art in America, Modern Painters, Art Forum) and exhibition catalogues for £1.
