Harbour

title

Off to Berlin to see my good friend Paul's new show at Peres Projects.

After the success of his last one-man show in New York last year and his recent posting out in the desert somewhere in the middle of America, I'm very much looking forward to seeing the new work.

E. M. Washington

title

Trawling through Ebay looking for woodcut prints my wife stumbled upon some fantastic copies of Vortiscist artist Edward Wadsworth's 'Dazzle Ships in drydock Liverpool'.

However rather strangely the prints were dated 1924 by an E.M.Washington. Did a bit of searching and it turns out that they were made by a chap also called Earl Washington who had originally suggested his grandfather made them?! There's more info here and here, it's fascinating.

Anyway we've bought a few of the prints now and they're absolutely brilliant (and at a fraction of the cost of the originals!) Great story too!
