It is possible that printing was one of humankind’s earliest art forms. In the Cueva de las Manos in Santa Cruz, Argentina, are hundreds of hand prints, dating back almost 10,000 years.
In the intervening centuries printing has developed into a myriad of forms, from hand-cut wood and linoleum blocks, to machine-printed moveable type presses, and it continues to evolve.
Whether as an art form or as a means of mass communication, this exhibition celebrates the art and technology of printing and printmaking.
