Printed boards as issued. With 21 tipped in plates printed in mono and duotone with black tissue guards. Text in English. Signed and numbered 79\/500 by Wedge in white crayon. Some marks to cover. <\/p>\n<p\/>The insider&#8217;s outsider. In the late sixties Wedge opened Top Gear on the Kings road with Pat Booth, and later Countdown, who&#8217;s clientele included Jagger (the 1969 white frock worn at the stones in the park concert), Marianne Faithfull and the rest of the swinging london jetset- he is also reputedly responsible for the mod target, but lets forget that for now. After Countdown, Wedge became jaded with retail and boutique culture, and decided to move into photography. As a trained milliner his work is highly sculptural, and his preoccupations with surrealism make for arresting work. Those familiar with the dark sexuality of Penny Slinger with recognise something in Wedge&#8217;s photographs and photo collages. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/814186797\/d5b59b9e61\" style=\"color: #666; text-decoration:none;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">See inside<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6646,"template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[16],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-8670","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-photography","8":"first","9":"instock","10":"shipping-taxable","11":"purchasable","12":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/november-books.com\/webstore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/8670"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/november-books.com\/webstore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/november-books.com\/webstore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/november-books.com\/webstore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6646"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/november-books.com\/webstore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8670"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/november-books.com\/webstore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=8670"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/november-books.com\/webstore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=8670"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
