Impress: Print Making Expanded in Contemporary Art

Courtauld Institute of Art
2014

Impress: Print Making Expanded in Contemporary Art responded to The Courtauld Gallery’s 2014 Summer Showcase, Bruegel to Freud: Prints from The Courtauld Gallery.

This exhibition explores how traditional printmaking techniques have been reimagined and reworked in contemporary art. It invites us to consider: what makes a print a print? Common conceptions of prints and printmaking are expanded, from two-dimensional to three-dimensional, from mass-produced to unique, from paper to mixed media.
