Product story
Varnishing Day: A Moment in Time
Containing 100 digital reproduction prints each 33cm x 24.5cm | Printed on Mohawk Superfine Ultrawhite Eggshell 216gsm | Published by Hurtwood and the RA | Printed in the UK by Pureprint
With the onset of the global pandemic, and for the first time in the history of the RA, the Summer Exhibition 2020 was postponed. The portfolio represents the first time in our history that our community of Royal Academicians have collaborated on one piece of work - a taking of the temperature of British art at a crucial time, documenting what our RAs were doing, thinking and making on 1 June. The day when, for the past 252 years, Royal Academicians celebrate the start of the Summer Exhibition and put the finishing touches to their works, Varnishing Day.
We are hugely grateful for the support of our Friends, now more than ever, as the RA still faces financial challenges. All sales of the portfolio support the RA and help us ensure that we are here for you - and everyone - long into the future.
