Howard Hodgkin Prints

Howard Hodgkin Painting - image

This exhibition organised and toured by Barbican Art Gallery London, dispenses a whole new range of Hodgkin print works by an artist mainly known as an oil painter, and demonstrates how highly skilled he is in this alternative art medium.

Howard Hodgkin has created around 130 print editions, collaborating with many different printers and workshops. Hodgkin thinks of his paintings and prints very differently, especially in the way that their physical presence speaks to the viewer. He conceives of prints as comparatively simple and direct, and has been quite selective in his exploration of printmaking technology.

Date: 18 Oct 2008 - 05 Jan 2009, Location: Turnpike Gallery, Leigh tbc
