'Eighteen Small Prints' is a portfolio of 18 prints in several medium. It unites the most famed British and American artists of the time, such as Ed Ruscha, David Hockney, Eduardo Paolozzi, Patrick Caulfield and others. 'Eighteen Small Prints' followed on from another portfolio of screenprints published the previous year
by the Bernard Jacobson Gallery entitled '14 BIG Prints'. At this time, a number of contemporary artists had been experimenting with the medium of screenprinting; the earlier portfolio, as its title suggests, was one of the first to exploit the medium's ability to create prints on a larger scale. Some of the other artists invited to make prints for the first portfolio were Peter Blake, Bernard Cohen, Robyn Denny, John Hoyland and Eduardo Paolozzi. The story goes that it was Peter Blake who suggested to Bernard Jacobson that, as a riposte to '14 BIG Prints', he might ask artists to make on a very small scale, through a note left at the original gallery.
Lithograph in colours, 1973, on wove paper, signed and dated in pencil, numbered from the edition of 100 (there were also 12 artist's proofs), published by Bernard Jacobson Ltd., London, 21 x 59 cm. (8 x 23 in.)
