50 Years of Artists Prints

I was delighted to attend a Private View at the Bankside Gallery last night where they are hosting a wonderful exhibition entitled '50 Years of Artist's Prints' organised by the Printmaking Council.  It is an amazing collection of amazing work and the exhibition runs until 29th November.

Alongside larger works there is a delightful variety of mini-prints which are to be added to the V&A archives.

As if that isn't enough to whet your appetite the PMC have also produced a book featuring the work of its 124 members 'Making an Impression'.  It is available at the Bankside Gallery and also online here

The Bankside Gallery is open daily from 11 - 6
