"18 Small Prints" - 23rd October - 9th November
A rare opportunity to see this fantastic collection of miniature prints from iconic British and American Pop artists David Hockney, Robyn Denny,Eduardo Paolozzi, Peter Phillips, Ivor Abrahams, Patrick Caulfield, Richard Hamilton, Ken Price, Peter Blake, Bernard Cohen, Dieter Roth, Hall, Ludwig Sander, Richard Smith, Gordon House, William Tillyer and Ed Ruscha.
This groundbreaking exhibition, first held at the renowned Bernard Jacobson Gallery in 1973, contains uniquely-sized small prints from internationally acclaimed artists including David Hockney, the godfather and grandfather of Pop Art respectively: Sir Peter Blake and Richard Hamilton; and Eduardo Paolozzi, to name a few.
This is probably the very last time all these delightful, quirky prints will appear in one collection together. Certainly the images by David Hockney and Ed Ruscha are the very last copies in existence, and there are few remaining full sets anywhere in the world.
It is thus a delightful, unique glimpse at the work of some iconic artists at a key stage of their artistic development, artists who almost certainly have not produced works in this size before or since.
Please note, prices do not include frames, unless otherwise stated.
