Prints and Graphic Art

Prints and graphic art form a distinct branch of the visual arts, with techniques reaching back to the fifteenth century: woodcut, etching, engraving, lithography, linocut, screenprint and stencil. What they share is a logic of multiplication that renders the individual impression not lesser but other, bound to edition, signature and the printer's hand. This collection brings together works on paper from different periods: old master engravings and etchings, nineteenth-century lithographs, and modern and contemporary linocuts, screenprints and hand-coloured sheets.
