The Paragon Press was founded by Charles Booth-Clibborn in 1986 and has since published more than 100 print projects with some of the U.K.’s most renowned artists--Gary Hume, Anish Kapoor, Damien Hirst, Marc Quinn, Rachel Whiteread and Grayson Perry, among others--and, more recently, with leading German artists such as Georg Baselitz, Eberhard Havekost, Corinne Wasmuht, Kai Althoff and Thomas Zipp. All artists are chosen by Booth-Clibborn for collaboration; many of them have little or no previous experience with printmaking. This beautifully produced volume surveys a selection of 37 projects by 15 artists, including 218 editioned prints, one tapestry edition (by Grayson Perry), one bronze sculptural edition (by Rachel Whiteread)--and an edition of a pair of shoes (by Kai Althoff). Paragon’s expansion into three-dimensional editions reflects its continual willingness to collaborate with artists and pursue new horizons. Each suite of works is accompanied by edition specifications and color reproductions of the entire suite.

The Paragon Press

<p>This book is published on the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of The Paragon Press. It offers a survey of the publications of the last five years. The range of artists Charles Booth-Clibborn works with stretches across generations from Alan Davie and the late Terry Frost through to Jake and Dinos Chapman and Gary Hume as well as a younger generation of artists such as Gillian Carnegie and George Shaw. The thirty-one projects by eighteen artists presented in this volume provide an extraordinary overview of the British Art scene at the beginning of the Twenty First Century. Each project is illustrated in colour and is accompanied by detailed descriptions. In addition, the book includes essays for each of the publications based on interviews with the artists. It is an invaluable resource for scholars, collectors and enthusiasts of contemporary art in print.</p>
