ARK No.24, original Lucio Fontana cover with hand-made punctured holes

London, Royal College of Art, 1958. 27 x 21.5 cm, 48 pp. Original wrapper, fluorescent orange version (the other being fluorescent green) featuring a printed drawing and added cuts made with a sharp object by Fontana (1899 - 1968).

First sheet contains a stamp by Dutch Zero artist Henk Peeters, who also seems to have written 'ARK/Fontana' on the spine. Slight scuffing along spine and some minor irregularities on cover. Some of the glue-bound pages in the center part are starting to get loose. ARK (1950-1973) was an academic journal of the Royal College of Art published by students, usually displaying work by graduates. This issue includes a text about Fontana's 'Technical Manifesto' (1947) with some light corrective pencil marks presumably by Peeters. Scarce copy.
