Chris Orr: The Making of Things

Chris Orr (b. 1943) is one of Britain’s foremost printmakers. In this definitive book he and Robert Hewison explore his remarkable career, from his early experiments as a student in the 1960s, to his later innovations in lithography, silkscreen, and digital printing. Hewison also considers the significant contribution that Orr has made to printmaking as a teacher. Illustrated with over 150 of Orr’s theatrical, witty, and willfully allusive prints, this book looks for the first time in depth at the gloriously original output of a ceaseless inventor.
