About Norman Ackroyd: New Work
To celebrate the launch of Norman Ackroyd’s newest publication, An Irish Notebook, we will be showcasing a group of this astonishing artist’s most recent etchings, all of which have been created between 2019-2022.
Norman Ackroyd is one of Britain’s foremost landscape artists and contemporary printmakers working today. Born in Leeds in 1938, Ackroyd attended Leeds College of Art and the Royal College of Art in the 1960s. He now lives in London where he works from his factory in Bermondsey.
He was elected as a Royal Academician in 1991, made Senior Fellow of Royal College of Art in 2000, and awarded a CBE for Services to Engraving and printing in 2007. Ackroyd’s work is held in many public collections including British Museum, London, Museum of Modern Art, New York, National Gallery of Art, Washington DC, and Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
Norman will be at YSP signing copies of An Irish Notebook on Sunday 27 November. With an embossed front cover and spine, this beautiful hardback book is a must for any Norman Ackroyd fan. The book retails at £16.95 and is available to purchase from YSP Shop.
All works in this exhibition are available to purchase exclusively at YSP Shop, in-person and online. YSP is a registered charity and your purchases help to support our work.
