From the library of British artist David Heathcote (b.1931), with his handwritten name in pencil to the ffep.

Other notable exhibitions and galleries include the Young Contemporaries Exhibition at the RBA Gallery in London in 1958, the Ahmadu Bello University and British Council Galleries in Nigeria, the Beckel Odille Boïcos Gallery in Paris, and at GV Art in London.

An illustrated monograph on Polish artist and monumental sculptor Igor Mitoraj (1944–2014). A brief introduction (in English) is followed by full-page photograph's of Mitoraj's work.
