Artist's Proof Artist's Proof Exhibition: Graphic Studio Dublin & Chester Beatty Library For centuries art historians have analysed and studied the fine art prints of Rembrandt, Durer and others to try to catch a glimpse of the secrets locked within printmaking techniques. Graphic Studio Dublin in association with Chester Beatty Library are delighted to present Artist's Proof, an exhibition celebrating the stages that lead up to a final fine art print. The Artists Artist's Proof sees twenty-four fine art printmaking artists showing their work, and two working proofs alongside it, so you can get a glimpse of how the fine art print was made. Nine international and invited artists will exhibit alongside fifteen Graphic Studio Dublin members. The invited artists are: Norman Ackroyd RA (UK), Mary Modeen (USA), Christopher le Brun (UK), Arno Kramer (Netherlands), David Lilburn (Ireland), Barbara Rae (UK), Takahiko Hayashi (Japan), Elaine Leader (Ireland), Lars Nyberg (Sweden), and Graphic Studio Dublin members included are: Gerard Cox, Gráinne Cuffe, Cliona Doyle, Niamh Flanagan, Desmond Kenny, Brian Lalor, Jennifer Lane, Stephen Lawlor, Sharon Lee, James McCreary, Niall Naessens, Ruth O'Donnell, Tom Phelan, Robert Russell, & Katherine Van Uytrecht.
