The functions hung have also been chosen from hundreds of entries.

- Katriona Gillespie – a present-day Australian artwork specialist

Product sales
One particular comment I would make is that this exhibition has NOT sold as several as I believe it could and need to have performed.
I imagine there may be 3 causes for this
- the Version dimension is not observed on the label following to the print – and I never ever at any time invest in a unframed print without understanding what the version dimension is (The information is accessible – it is really just not there to seize the second when somebody is interested!)
- I’ve not found a whole lot of advertising and marketing for the exhibition – and there are really handful of social media posts about it.
- which is in aspect down to artists not producing the exertion to market their function both! Gail Brodholt’s put up is an isolated contribution!
Very delighted that my linocut ‘Storm Clouds Over Whitehall’ is section of the Intercontinental Original Print Exhibition at @BanksideGallery. Open up just about every working day (right up until 2nd October) with a great array of artists prints. Absolutely free entry and proper future to Tate Fashionable!#printexhibition #linocut pic.twitter.com/BRUpSWMkuQ
