Description
Criticises British artists for using American art materials like Liquitex, rather than British products such as Winsor & Newton (twice misspellt). The documents look like they were originally crumpled by Himid.
Questionnaire mentions Damian Hirst. Sample questions : 'Would you call yourself a British Artist, if not why not?' and 'Under what conditions could you be coerced into using products produced in this great nation'.
