Title	Correspondence related to an unpublished catalogue for the 'The Big O', Riverside Studios, London, 1991
Date	Mar - Aug 1992
Description	Three letters concerning a catalogue originally intended to accompany Dye's site-specific installation 'The Big O' at Riverside Studios, London in 1991. The catalogue, funded by the Henry Moore Foundation, was to have been a review of Dye's career with text by Jean Fisher. The letters relate to Riverside Studio's failure to publish the catalogue following a communication issue between the gallery and the designer. Includes a letter from Dye to Sir Alan Bowness of the Henry Moore Foundation expressing his concern over the matter.
Notes	Jean Fisher's text was later reprinted as an essay in her authored work 'Vampire in the Text: Narratives of Contemporary Art', London: Institute of International Visual Arts, 2003.
Related Material	See 2016.1/D/52 for images of 'The Big O'; 2016.1/E/54 for transparencies of the work; and 2016.1/H/6 for Jean Fisher's draft text accompnaied by Dye's notes on her draft.
