About MeCutting of article from an unidentified newspaper, undated. Article relates to IHF's cancellation of an exhibition of his work at the gallery of the Scottish Arts Council at Charlotte Square. This action was taken in protest of the Arts Council having not taken strong enough action over the "Spectator", which had made factually inaccurate statements about the exhibition. The exhibition was organised by the Arts Council.
