Description
Andy Altmann began collecting tat while he was on his Foundation course, getting ready for an interview at St Martins School of Art. He''d been asked to present a sketchbook, but worried that he couldn''t draw very well, he decided to start a scrapbook: "I rummaged through the drawers at home and found some football cards from the late 1960s and early ''70s (plenty of Georgie Best), an instruction leaflet from an old Hoover, Christmas cracker jokes, and so on. Then I started on the magazines, cutting out images of anything that interested me. And finally I took myself off to the college library, where I photocopied things from books before reaching for the scissors and glue." It was the beginning of a significant collecting habit.
