Why buy prints?

Print is a great way to learn about artistic process, discover new artists, and experiment with your tastes and confidence. It can also be a shrewd investment. Because there is often more than one ‘impression’ of any one printed image, it is inevitable that it is often easier to find - and afford - an original print than an oil or watercolor by a certain artist. The price will depend on the quality and the date of the printing. The nature of editioning can mean you are able to introduce original works by some of the worlds top artists at a fraction of the cost.

JURY 2019

I want to thank India Printmaker House for inviting me to jury Manorama Young Printmaker Award. Jurying this competition has been a challenging and humbling experience because of the quality of works and the array of skills and topics submitted. While it was was painful narrowing down the awardees I was joyed by the dynamism taking place in Indian printmaking. I would like to congratulation everyone involved in this project. It’s a brilliant initiative and I hope it grows on to motivate many more artist printmakers in the future.
