Published to accompany the 2010 survey exhibition of the same name in Barcelona, this selection is quite wide-ranging but also extends beyond the usual suspects. It is hard to be comprehensive in a survey show but the incorporation of photographic works adds an element of social commentary. Not often seen, this is a useful addition to the shelves, plus it features a rather eye-popping Bridget Riley cover!
