Michael Craig Martin - The Complete Prints

Sir Michael Craig-Martin is one of Britain's most celebrated and influential contemporary artists. His distinctive wall objects, paintings and sculptures, depicting everyday objects from sunglasses and shoes to light bulbs and laptops, all drawn in outlines and often in intense, saturated colors, are instantly recognizable.

In the coffee table book "Michael Craig Martin - The Complete Prints," Michael Craig-Martin's distinctive style comes clearly to the fore, with minimalist renderings of everyday objects in bright colors. The artist produced his first prints in the late 1960s and early 1970s and has made working in editions an important part of his practice for thirty-five years. Screen prints, etchings, letterpress, lithographs, light boxes, computer works and metal reliefs all display his familiar repertoire of objects in his signature style.

In more recent works, he expands his subject matter to include flowers and fruits. His series examining famous paintings from the past by artists such as Piero della Francesca, Leonardo da Vinci, Caravaggio, Diego Velázquez and Georges Seurat and iconic designs by modernist architects and designers can also be found here. The introduction by acclaimed writer Michael Bracewell demonstrates the importance of graphic art to Craig-Martin's depictions of modernity. With high-quality reproductions of more than 300 individual works, this beautifully designed book is the complete collection for both specialists and enthusiasts of the renowned artist's work.
