    About the work
    West Front, Durham
    About the Work

    Signed, numbered, dated original screenprint.
    From the edition of 75.
    Dedicated for Alex & Frances, March 1990.

    Printed by the artist and Audrey Dalby at the Design School, Department of Fine Art, University of Newcastle upon Tyne and published by the artist.

    The artist writes that he was 'enormously impressed by the visual aspect of the West Front at Durham Cathedral', being especially impressed by 'its splendour when the sun moved infinitesimal stages onto the West Front'. The print was made after specially prepared photographs of the similarly entitled construction made in 1974.

    The picture I had arranged to see was ready for me and staff gave me lots of time to look at it and decide, but I loved it as soon as I saw it. No pressure. Very knowledgeable, friendly staff. I had great advice on framing and protective glass.

    Astonishing place. Driving home I realised it was probably the best experience I've ever had in a shop/gallery. I'll be filling my house with their artworks for years to come. A unique place.

    Just received my Kang-hyo Lee teacup. In perfect condition. I’m so happy with it and I think the international service offered by Goldmark is superb. The staff are so kind and extremely efficient and professional.
