Richard Hamilton was born in London, 1922. He exhibited the collage “Just what is it that makes today’s homes so different, so appealing ? ” in the exhibition of “This is Tomorrow”, at Whitechapel Art Gallery in London, 1956. Since then, he is recognized as a pioneer of pop art in art history. Until now Nishimura Gallery held 4 solo exhibitions of Hamilton, including “Interior”(1985), “Ulysses by James Joyce”(1993) which visually reconstructed Joyce’s grand novel from his original point of view, and “New Technology and Printmaking”(1999) which introduce his works made with the new technology of computer graphics, digital inkjet prints etc. “Richard Hamilton prints1975-2007” is his 5th exhibition in our gallery. In this show, we exhibit 12 experimental prints and the booklet of “Polaroid Portraits”. “Soft pink landscape (1980)” shows two girls in a romantic forest with toilet roll using collotype and screen. “ The Annunciation(2005) ”, he gave a contemporary arrangement to the subject, which has been expressed over and over in the long history of art. He remade the poster of the “White Album", a famous Beatles LP released in 1968 , as a digital print. He will be awarded 20th Praemium Imperiale in this October. *All text provided by Nishimura Gallery.
