David Hockney's Alphabet Series: A Celebration of Imagination, Printmaking and Storytelling
David Hockney’s Alphabet pairs twenty-six lithographs with writers’ texts. How to look at an individual sheet and its relationship to the publication.
Banksy’s images work quickly, then leave a harder question behind. We look at the role of the stencil and at the distinctions collectors need to make between works on walls and editions.
Peter Doig’s landscapes often feel familiar and hard to place at once. We look at how colour, source images and printed layers hold that tension.
Nan Goldin - Intimacy, Truth, and the Power of Personal Photography
Nan Goldin’s photographs record intimacy without making their subjects simple. We look at the images’ directness and the importance of print history for collectors.
Grayson Perry - a National Treasure
Grayson Perry’s vessels, prints and textiles use craft to examine class, identity and taste. We look closely at how an inviting surface can carry a more difficult story.
Jeff Koons: Art, Spectacle, and the Language of Desire
Jeff Koons turns familiar forms into carefully finished objects. We look at the role of material, scale and surface, and the details that distinguish his editions.
Tracey Emin: Confession, Intimacy, and Radical Honesty
Tracey Emin’s exposed line and handwriting make private language public. We look at how material and scale shape the encounter, especially in editions.
