About MePhotocopy of a magazine article from Art Monthly relating to a press conference held at Little Sparta by Ian Hamilton Finlay. The press conference addressed the matter of the artist's longrunning dispute with Strathclyde Regional Council over works taken from the property in lieu of unpaid business rates. Attendees signed a letter to the Secretary General of the United Nations, hence the hyperbolic headline of this article.

This photocopy is part of an archive that belonged to Joyce Laing OBE. The artist, Ian Hamilton Finlay, was a personal friend of the donor.
