Charles Cowles Gallery - Current Exhibition

Richard Hamilton

June 7 - July 20, 2001

The Charles Cowles Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of RICHARD HAMILTON prints dating from 1968-1998. HAMILTON's work is a veritable lexicon of printmaking techniques. While he revels in the effects each process achieves, the use of these often antiquated and even recently extinct print methods, like collotype and heliogravure, is no small part of his oeuvre. His career is marked by a desire to record and disseminate. Swingeing London, his iconic recasting of a newspaper photo of Robert Fraser and Mick Jagger handcuffed after their arrest for drug possession, makes the event indelible in the often ephemeral public consciousness.
