Our new catalogue:

“Fear is a strange soil. It grows obedience like corn, which grow in straight lines to make weeding easier. But sometimes it grows the potatoes of defiance, which flourish underground.”
― Terry Pratchett, Small Gods

Liver and Lights is the collective name for John Bently’s long running series of art in book form.

Evolving dramatically over the course of its 56 editions in 34 years (so far), from punk poetry fanzine into DIY manifesto; from a celebration of discarded things into a celebration of discarded communities, from heartfelt memorial to ranting pamphlet, the series functions as a repository of low budget reprographics and an uncompromising chronicle of real lives lived in strange times.

Liver and Lights also incorporates a wide range of one-off works of art and related projects, most notably the band Bonesandtheaft, who interpret and illuminate the books through music and live performance, augmented by handmade recordings, props, stage sets and costumes.

A collection of 24 numbered books by the artist John Bently through his ongoing self publishing imprint 'Liver & Lights Scriptorium ', in various shapes and sizes. c.1990 - c.2008. £1200

'The School Prints Series' was dreamt up towards the end of WW-2, when Brenda Rawnsley and her husband Derek had the idea of bringing contemporary art to young children by putting 'good' art into schools. Initially British artists were commissioned to produce one lithograph each, John Nash, Paul Nash, Henry Moore, John Tunnard, Barbara Jones, L.S Lowry and many more.

We currently have a selection of prints from this series: £350 framed / £150 unframed.
