Inserted leaf of cream paper with preface recto and text 'Six Points / towards a better understanding' verso, page with text 'Sculpting Words' and 'GG' red stamp (page pasted to rear wrapper). The rare ephemeral booklet, the 'guide' for one of Gilbert and George's earliest works, 'Singing Sculpture'. Gilbert & George's 'Singing Sculpture' work, performed over a number of years, was one of their earliest and most iconic 'hits'. For the performance they painted themselves in bronze and sung and danced to a 1930s song titled 'Underneath the Arches'. The booklet was first published in 1970, with this example issued for G&G’s performances in 1973, possibly in Australia.
