In Edition 1, the Centre for Recent Drawing launches its own artist editions and presents a survey of drawing approaches in recent artist editions that have been provided for institutions in Britain and beyond. These include the work of Frank Auerbach, Peter Doig, Mark Francis, Merlin James, William Kentridge, Todd Norsten, Bridget Riley and Christopher Wool.

Editions have kindly been donated by artists who have shown previously at C4RD, including Alex Calinescu, Joan Edlis, Nick Fox, Gordon Shrigley and Daphne Astor Warburg. Each edition has been specifically commissioned by C4RD, and demonstrates something of the individual approach of each artist both in drawing and in the artist's oeuvre.

Each is in an edition of 15, and illustrations of each may be seen on the C4RD website. The cost of each is 300 GBP, with all of the proceeds donated towards continuing Centre for Recent Drawing's public programmes. C4RD is entirely volunteer run since 2004 and receives no public subsidy, and is a UK Registered Charity No.1123530.

Please join us for the opening reception for this exhibition 6 - 8pm 23 July 2008 or during the exhibition 23 July - 8 August 2008. Centre for Recent Drawing is open from 12 - 6pm Wednesday to Friday during exhibition times. C4RD would particularly like to acknowledge the support for this exhibition of ARTUPDATE.COM/.
