Michael Craig-Martin: An Anthology
Michael Craig-Martin: An Anthology is the artist’s first exhibition dedicated to almost thirty years of editions, featuring screen, digital and relief prints, lightboxes, laser etched panels and new metal wall reliefs. Fifty works on show from Michael Craig-Martin's (b.1941) distinctive vocabulary include ordinary household objects, flowers and fruit, reinterpretations of Old Masters and works made in homage to the achievements of some of the twentieth-century's greatest artists, designers and architects.
Michael Craig-Martin: An Anthology marks the publication of the first catalogue raisonné featuring Craig-Martin’s entire work in prints and multiples. This exhibition also coincides with the largest and most comprehensive exhibition of Craig-Martin's work ever held in the UK, on show at the Royal Academy of Arts, London.
