As writer, curator and director of the Barry Flanagan Estate, Jo Melvin has written, “In September 1970, Harrison informed the artists that as the project was a joint venture with Studio International’s May 1971 issue he intended to commission them to make work “direct for the printed page”.18 These contributions would be treated by the artists as an extension of the exhibition, as well as a record of it.19The results formed a dedicated issue of Studio International, acknowledging the NYCC’s involvement. An extra run, minus the masthead, was printed as the exhibition catalogue.” – Jo Melvin, “The British Avant Garde: A Joint Venture Between the New York Cultural Center and Studio International Magazine”, in British Art Studies, Issue 3, Summer 2016.
