MUDFLAT ART by William Jackson

Published by The Carson Jackson Fund, Verna Baxter, Lino Meiorin, Berkeley, California, 1967. First edition. Illustrated card covers, side staple bound, 9" x 6", 12 unnumbered pages, illustrated with 7 full page color photographs and one in text color photo. VERY GOOD Condition: some wear to the covers, internally signs of age and use, otherwise a respectable copy of this elusive publication about the old Emeryville Mudflat Sculptures.

In the 1960s the Emeryville Mudflats were a mere wasteland of space by the side of the Eastshore Freeway fronting San Francisco Bay. After some initial ad hoc sculpture popped up, the Mudflats evolved into a vibrant highly visible open air museum for a unique form of public art works. This amazing space of free expression lasted for about 30 years. Many of the sculptures are now in museum collections.
