Graham York Rare Books
Books! That’s what Graham York’s Rare Books was is about, second hand books - old books, and people that frequent Graham York’s book shop love books.
The place smells - I think, tastes - of books. You can feel what has gone into their creation, sense the time that they have had a physical presence and that their text and imagery have been absorbed and filled minds.
To be amongst Graham York’s rare books is to touch their history and be touched by their creativity, intelligence, insight and ambition. I love it in that store.

This work is available on paper or mounted on hand-painted plywood, its edges painted with the same acrylics as the work on paper and framed in a 33mm-deep wooden frame, made by the artist and finished with Farrow & Ball estate emulsion. The result is a ready-to-hang work that combines sophistication and narrative depth.
