CURWEN AT THE RECTORY: 11 Jun - 08 Aug

Private views by invitation
Wednesday 10th June 6-8pm, and Sunday 14th June 2-4pm
Viewing by appointment at all other times

The Rectory Gallery is a new gallery space set in the Rectory of Christ Church in Spitalfields.

This first exhibition showcases lithographic prints made at the Curwen Studio. Following its 50th Anniversary last year, this exhibition highlights the quality and diversity of work produced by Curwen over the years. Prints by Glynn Boyd Harte, Prunella Clough and Stanley Jones and John Piper represent the earlier years at the Studio.

Younger artists such as Thomas Martin, Colin Wilkin and Mark Hearld show that the art of printmaking continues to strive forward to this day.  Hearld’s ‘Printing with Spirit’ was made specially to mark the anniversary and references the studio’s beginnings as part of the Curwen Press. Another step in Curwen’s long history sees its lithographs, both old and new, come to this exciting new gallery space in London’s East End.
