Limited Editions

Purchase a limited edition by internationally acclaimed artists who wish to support our mission to help new contemporary art enter public collections across the UK.

We are delighted that much admired, highly respected artist and elder statesman of the contemporary art world, Michael Craig-Martin has generously donated a stunning limited edition commissioned to support our work during our centenary year.

Throughout his career, through work in many different media, he has explored the expressive potential of commonplace objects and images. His early work made deliberate reference to the American artists he most admired, such as Donald Judd, Jasper Johns and Robert Morris. Although he was particularly affected by Minimalism and used ordinary household materials in his sculptures, he played against the logic of his sources, always maintaining an elegant restraint and conceptual clarity.

During the 1990s the focus of his work shifted decisively to painting, with the same range of boldly outlined motifs - tables, chairs, stepladders etc. - and luridly vivid colour schemes in unexpected and at times apparently arbitrary combinations applied both to works on canvas and to increasingly complex installations of wall paintings, including hung paintings, reliefs and wall-mounted sculptures.

Michael Craig-Martin has shown extensively nationally and internationally, as well as being well known a key figure in the emergence of the `Young British Artists’ in the early 1990s. He is a Trustee of the Art Fund, was an Artist Trustee of the Tate Gallery from 1989-99, received a CBE in 2001, and was elected to the Royal Academy of Arts in 2006. His work appears in many major national and international collections including the Museum of Modern Art, New York, Reina Sofia, Madrid, Tate, London and V&A, London, to name just a few.
