exhibition catalogues

The Strand has a big collection of museum exhibition catalogues (which I am going to have to make).
I bought a couple random ones that I just liked the design of.
BUT, I was totally nerding out when I found these two catalogues and snatched them up so fast.

The Responsive Eye
from 1965 at The Museum of Modern Art, New York

The Art of the Real: USA 1948-1968
from 1968 at The Museum of Modern Art, New York


These were really important exhibitions.

ESPECIALLY The Responsive Eye!!!
It is basically what introduced the world to Op Art and artists like Frank Stella, Victor Vasarely, Bridget Riley and Getulio Alviani, amongst others.

Here are some photos I found online of the catalogue..
