This catalogue accompanies This Could Happen to You: Ikon in the 1970s, 2010.
It is the second chapter in the story of Ikon, following on from our 2004 exhibition, The best things in life happen accidentally, featuring work by founder artists, their colleagues, friends and acquaintances.
The ethos they instilled in the organisation, whereby an emphasis on aesthetic innovation was matched by efforts towards greater accessibility, was assumed by their successors as they engaged in a bigger picture that involved artists from further afield in the UK, and occasionally from abroad.
The catalogue contains biographies of all the artists in the exhibition, material from the 70’s found in Ikon’s archive, installation photographs and essays.
Paperback, colour and black and white illustrations, 172 pages.
