• Notes:
  A NOTE FROM WARWICK BROWN: The complete set of photographs, A Library to Scale documents all of the volumes put together by the eccentric Frederick Butler in New Plymouth over the period 1926 - 1980, there is a sense in which things become real through their repetition. A library to Scale, records a likeness of a collection of scrapbooks, a visual re-enactment of a compelling collection of books; it engages us in a process of recovery, retrieval and re-presentation. It seeks to bind Frederick B. Butler's project anew; to look back on it from the very particular time and space of the now. From the artist's statement for the exhibition A Library to Scale. One of every edition is on long-term loan to The Chartwell Collection, Auckland Art Gallery, To O Tamaki.
