Editions
The first edition of Dead Children Playing was released in 2006, to accompany Donwood and Yorke's art exhibition at the Iguapop Gallery in Barcelona, Spain, from November 23 to December 16.[2][3] Donwood took the name from a sign he had seen in a park.[4] The second edition was released on 1 October 2007 by Verso Publishing.[5]
Reception
Reviewing the book in The Art Book, Rosalind McKever wrote "this picture book is an excellent advert for some of the most prevalent art of our time; this truly is pop-art, digesting visual, social and political culture and reconstituting it in an accessible and affordable form".[6]
Ben Johnson for Naples Daily News wrote: "It's spooky stuff, no question, but good art is meant to inspire a reaction, and there's no question this picture book will do that for most of its readers."[7]
