For any of you Syd fanatics that didn't know, there is an exhibition on his life and his art going on right now until April 10th.
Syd Barrett Art Exhibition in London 2011
The reason for this exhibition is to also promote the release of the book titled Barrett: The Definitive Visual Companion to the Life of Syd Barrett.
Barrett: The definitive visual companion to the life of Syd Barrett
This book contains many photographs of Syd and early Pink Floyd that have never been seen until now! Not only that but it contains samples of Syd's paintings as well as illustrations and letters he sent to girlfriends Libby Gausden Chisman and Jenny Spiers.
This book is endorsed by Syd's family and to my understanding, all the proceeds will go to Syd's estate. His estate supports an organization that encourages artistic talent in the mentally ill.
I have been fangirling like crazy over this book since it's been announced. Plus I really wish I was in London right now. To those here that reside in the UK, curse you you lucky bastards!
