| Title: | Circle Press |
|---|---|
| Description: | This is the official website of Circle Press, which was formed in 1967 by Ron King as an independent publishing group for artists and printmakers, who are interested in publishing limited editions of fine art books, artists' books and prints. Originally set up by King, when his edition of Chaucer's "Prologue to the Canterbury Tales", 'illustrated with images of large abstracted mask designs' was not published (and so he decided to take on the task himself), the Press has now published the work of over 100 artists. The website contains a catalogue of current work that is available, with artists' statements and images of the works, a history of the organisation, and a list of the museums, galleries, archives, and special collections where Circle Press works can be found, including the British Library, the National Art Library, Tate Britain, Gutenberg Museum, the Houghton Library at Harvard University, and the Yale Center for British Art. |
