The Black Page ~ 73 Artists and Writers
Page 72 of the first volume of Tristram Shandy announces the death of Parson Yorick
‘Alas, poor Yorick’.
On the page opposite this gloomy literary reference [73] Sterne places a black rectangle in the space that should be occupied by text. In the year of the 250th anniversary of this memorial, 73 writers and artists were invited to make their own BlackPage and each one was for sale by auction.
