Featuring some of the print pioneers of the last five hundred years, this exhibition looks at how these artists have pushed the boundaries in both subject and technique. Works range from Albrecht Dürer in the fifteenth century right through to contemporary artists like Tracey Emin and Chris Ofili.

Other big names on show include Hokusai, Andy Warhol, Goya, Rembrandt, William Blake, Elizabeth Blackadder, Paula Rego, Bridget Riley and Pablo Picasso. The display explores the techniques, tools and materials of various practices including screen printing, etching, and engraving, and aims to show how print-making is one of the most accessible art forms.
