Purdy Rubin's Selection

Four artists whose work I would recommend to new collectors...
Having run the Purdy Hicks Gallery, I know how important early support can be for young, emerging artists. My selection includes Verbatim, an artist-led collective showcasing innovative contemporary printmaking; and India Printmaker House, an online platform supporting emerging printmakers, particularly those working in India. To balance these, I've chosen a print from the brilliant Tate (who also offer an amazing selection of reasonably priced prints on their website) and Hommage, a specialist in vintage lithographs and exhibition posters who have been showcasing posters in pop-ups. Together, I hope these choices reflect both the excitement of discovering new artists and the value of collecting affordable prints across different generations and traditions.

Verbatim
Ellie Hayward, 'Inside Out', 2021, Aquatint and photo-etching £950 unframedVerbatim champions experimental printmaking, and Ellie Hayward's work exemplifies this spirit. Inside Out is a sculptural, atmospheric print exploring empty and liminal architectural spaces. Through aquatint and photo-etching, Hayward creates a quietly powerful sense of interiority and structure-an exciting example of innovative printmaking by an emerging artist.

India Printmaker House
Jaimini Jariwala, 'Threads of House III', 2024, Cyanotype and stitch on drawing paper (unique print) £300India Printmaker House offers vital visibility to emerging artists globally. I was drawn to Jaimini Jariwala's Threads of House III for its delicate, expressive mark-making and its striking blue-and-white palette. Jariwala works by removing threads from fabric, leaving ghostly textile impressions that become part of the cyanotype image. The combination of photography, fabric processes, and hand-stitching gives the piece a beautifully tactile and contemplative quality.

Tate
Howard Hodgkin, 'Indian Leaves', 1982/2024, Lithograph on Japanese Gampi Torinoko paper £600The Tate offers editions by major artists at accessible prices, helping many collectors take their first steps. Hodgkin's Indian Leaves is joyful, vivacious, and full of the rich colour for which he is celebrated. The delicate Gampi Torinoko paper enhances the work's luminosity, and the print reflects Hodgkin's long and meaningful connection with India.

Hommage
Constantin (Kostia) Terechkovitch, 'Galerie Paul Petrides, Paris', 1953, Colour lithograph £600Hommage specialises in original vintage posters and lithographs that blend fine art, design, and history, and this poster by Terechkovitch is both expressive and elegant.
-
Hommage
Jean Cocteau, 'Salons de la TWA, Nice, Côte d’Azur, Paris', 1954, Colour lithograph £700Cocteau’s imaginative design captures his multidisciplinary creativity. Both these prints presented by Hommage are visually charming and illustrate a window into the vibrant and wonderful world of post-war European art and design.

Long & Ryle
Cliona Doyle, 'Camelia Japonica', 2022, Carborundum print, 133 x 107 cm POAA large scale print on beautiful paper. I love the size of this, which meant it had to be printed on two separate pieces of paper, which adds to its delicacy and connection with nature.

Paul Stolper Gallery
Brian Eno, Untitled, 2025, Etching on Somerset Velvet 400gsm, with deckled edges, 65 x 65 cm POAPartly because I love what Brian Eno stands for, but also for the energy in these images which I can imagine making a sound that I can't hear, but would like if I did.

Long & Ryle
Hugh Buchanan, 'Moonlit Window', 2024, Household emulsion on corduroy, 86.36 x 63.5 cm POAApart from the mysterious and haunting image, I love the idea of using household emulsion printed on corduroy, which gives a velvety, high contrast image so reminiscent of a night scene at full moon.
