It’s Fine Press Friday!
This week we present Nine Artists & a Press: An Exhibition of the Work of Nine Artists Working for the Whittington Press, Held at the Fiery Beacon Gallery, 2-17 December ‘89. The book was printed in an edition of 950 copies in Walbaum type at John and Rosalind Randle’s Whittington Press in Risbury, Herefordshire in 1989. Our copy is another generous donation from Jerry Buff, and it is one of 50 copies bound in paper marbled by Colleen Gryspeerdt and signed by the artists. The book features nine artists who worked with the press over a long period of time and includes information about each artist’s work under one of their illustrations. These artists are: John Craig, Brian Hanscomb, Richard Kennedy, Miriam Macgregor, Gwenda Morgan, John O’Connor, Howard Phipps, Judith Verity, and Hellmuth Weissenborn.
The book notes:
“These nine artists have talents that lie in many different directions. The common thread that runs through their work is that they have been published by the Whittington Press, which is fortunate indeed to have such a galaxy of talent at its disposal.”
