HOCKNEY TO HIMID: 60 YEARS OF BRITISH PRINTMAKING

Until 24 April 2022

Printmaking is perhaps the most misunderstood and underappreciated medium: dismissed as a mere “craft” by some, as a license to print money to others. Yet the medium’s fine art credentials were proven in the latter half of the 20th century as underlined by this collection of more than 100 prints produced by practitioners from Pop Art’s Richard Hamilton to Op Art’s Bridget Riley.

Created over six decades, the etchings, wood engravings, lithographs and screenprints reveal the medium’s journey, from its specialist roots to its adoption by some of the best names in contemporary art.
