The book, entitled ‘Herbert

this week at Review Printing

“We're ex-
tremely proud of this book.

Our key
Willmore, did a superb job

pressman, Roy
with the color plates. His
effort is reflected in the final
product.”’

The book was originally
conceived as a catalogue to
accompany a- retrospective
art show currently on exhibit
at. the Victoria. Art. Gallery.

The show encompasses 25
years of work by the German-
born artist. Siebner has been a
resident of Victoria for the
past 14 years.

The. Victoria Art Gallery,
the Canada Council. and
numerous art patrons in- the
Victoria. area contributed
funds towards the production

of the book. The University of
Victoria sponsored four of the
color plates and will be using
the same prints in the Malahat
Review, a university
publication, at a later date.
The book is currently.on sale
at the Art Gallery and will be —
