Collector's Prints : A Celebration of Master Printmaker Kip Gresham

About

Collector’s Prints 2015 celebrates the work of the influential master printmaker Kip Gresham. Kip has been making original prints and collaborating with artists since 1975. His working relationship with Stanley Jones of Curwen Studios in the late 1980s led to an interest in fluid marks and the development of new drawing surfaces for the artists. This found its best expression in the work of Elisabeth Frink and Michael Rothenstein whose work features in the show with both rare and previously unseen unique images. In Frink's case it was the combination of scale, toughness and urgent expression that was such a significant departure and this is illustrated in ‘Dog’ of 1988. The exhibition includes a unique red colour-way created by Frink and Gresham at the Studio, a departure from the published edition of 70 in terracotta.

Exciting examples from Gresham’s archive provide a unique opportunity for enthusiasts to acquire unusual and highly collectible images which have never been previously seen.
