The Prints, Bookworks and drawings of Birgit Skiold (1923-1982), an interactive 'catalogue-raisonne' based on works in the BSMT collection

Birgit Skiöld, born in Sweden, was a modernist printmaker who lived and worked in Britain from 1948 onwards. She ran the highly successful Print Workshop, 28 Charlotte Street, London, which was established in 1958 and operated until 1983. Print Workshop became a destination for international artists needing open access to a professional printmaking studio. This catalogue introduces Skiöld’s work to a new audience. It arises from new research into the prints and Print Workshop, her studio. For the first time, a complete catalogue of her work, commencing with the first editions she made, has been compiled to include many of her artist-proofs as well as examples of her editioned prints. Also included are her bookworks, brought together for the first time. It is hoped that this complete illustrated survey of the artist’s output will increase understanding of her contribution and encourage appreciation of her beautiful prints.
