Kyffin - A Celebration

DB Fellows and Licentiates Touring Exhibition 2008



Twenty-one Fellows and nine Licentiates have been involved in this ambitious project, binding copies of a commemorative book of essays and memoirs celebrating the distinguished Welsh artist Sir Kyffin Williams, who died in 2006.

The book was produced by Gwasg Gregynog, who enjoyed a special relationship with Sir Kyffin, and includes a Foreword by HRH The Prince of Wales who was also a friend of the artist. It is illustrated with a selection of the artist's linocuts printed directly from the original blocks, including some unpublished works. The exhibition will be on tour from June to November, accompanied by a beautiful 64-page full colour catalogue.

Everyone is very welcome to attend any of the openings.

All the bindings in the exhibition are for sale. There is one ‘Group Lot’ of thirteen Fellows’ bindings which will be sold to the highest bidder, to be announced at 4pm on 1st September. The remaining thirty-seven bindings will be sold individually. Further details on prices and sales procedure are available from Jeanette Koch: jeanettekoch@arnoreinfrank.de

The catalogue for this exhibition is now available to buy at our online shop.
