The Print Show

In the early 1970’s the gallery, drawing on its strong working relationships with many of the London galleries, such as Marlborough and Waddington’s and other Cork Street galleries, presented print exhibitions by some of the foremost names in contemporary Modern British art such as Hoyland, Hodgkin, Piper, Pasmore, Ackroyd, Caulfield, Frink, and the St. Ives Group of artists. Scottish printmakers also became regular exhibitors in Cyril Gerber Fine Art and Compass Gallery.

These exhibitions enabled the Scottish audiences to view and make acquisitions of works by the UK’s foremost printmakers. We regularly visited the print workshops which had opened and developed across Scotland in the 1960’s and 70’s, selecting and exhibiting a wide variety and range of prints, styles and techniques of printmaking, celebrating the many artists who expanded their practice, exploring new creative possibilities presented to them through a huge variety of methods such as wood engravings, etchings, lithographs and screenprints.

This exhibition includes work by both high profile and emerging artists, as well as those whose printmaking accompanies their painting and sculptural work. Please enjoy browsing this online exhibition on our website, where new works will be added regularly. This is a small selection of the hundreds of talented printmakers who exhibit in our galleries.
