Howard Hodgkin Prints
A Catalogue Raisonné

Introduction by Nan Rosenthal

| ‘Provides for the curious reader a solid accounting for the high esteem in which Hodgkin is held in the estimation of his contemporaries and artistic descendants’ | | – The Art Book |
This is the definitive, long awaited celebration of the most popular area of this artist’s work.
Howard Hodgkin’s prints represent a parallel and very different achievement from his paintings. They have been internationally celebrated and passionately collected, but never brought together, until now.
As a painter, Hodgkin has mostly preferred to create small works using oils and working on wood. As a printmaker, he has challenged the format, techniques and expressive potential of the medium, and has now made over 140 works on paper. Far from seeing them as poor relations to his paintings, he has consistently explored the print medium for its own sake, making astonishingly varied, emotive and persuasive works that are paradoxically unique as well as multiples.
This first ever comprehensive survey and catalogue raisonné, compiled by Liesbeth Heenk, includes an interview with Hodgkin which sheds light on the genesis of the prints, a major essay by Nan Rosenthal, Senior Consultant in the Department of Modern Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, over eighty colour plates and a fully illustrated catalogue raisonné. There is also a chronology, an extensive bibliography and a list of solo and group exhibitions.
