Footnote
Note: We are delighted to offer a collection of prints that were produced for the exhibition 'Fourteen Big Prints', organised by Bernard Jacobson and held in his gallery in 1972.
Jacobson had decided to invite a variety of contemporary artists who he had known for a long time, and whose work he thought would look good on a large scale. His intention was that the exhibition would draw a new audience to contemporary art, in the hope that 'perhaps one day the general public will realise that art didn't in fact end with Van Gogh.'
The catalogue included comments and correspondence from each of the artists or their peers on the artistic process and included work.
'In the production of a print there need be no gap between the idea and its realisation - there is no . . . physical presence of the artist, it is almost untouched by human hand, and yet may remain both intimate and intense'
