Master Printer Mark Attwood and Syneth Nyandeni
working on a Conrad Botes lithograph.


Artists whose original prints are available from us are carefully selected and individuals who are published by The Artists' Press are published by invitation only. We focus on southern Africa, and strive to publish work which reflects the diverse experiences of the region and which is of the highest artistic integrity. The art world of South Africa is a relatively small one but at the same time is dynamic and covers all the contemporary fine art genres. We work with professionals who have successfully exhibited work of a consistently high standard and who are among the top South African artists. They are selected in terms of the high standard of their work and not because they follow a particular school, the emphasis being on excellence rather than a particular style. This means that the work available from us is diverse and is a reflection of the variety of work available in South Africa as well as representing the conceptual concerns of South African artists. These vary from work that analyses contemporary social and political issues (Kim Berman) , abstract landscapes (Dumisani Mabaso) to the human figure (Robert Hodgins) .

Once a year we work with a relatively unknown practioner, often people who would be considered "outsider artists". This is in line with our aim of introducing people to printmaking and of assisting those who are on the fringe of the contemporary art scene in South Africa. These projects are always exciting as one is dealing with the unknown and the coming together of technique and creativity in an inspired way. Examples of artists who would fall into this category are Espoir Kennedy , Selby Msimang and the women who illustrated The Ultimate Safari .

Work published by The Artists' Press and available from ArtPrintSA includes artists books, portfolios of prints and single prints. To date the press has published well over two hundred editions of original prints and eight books. Most of these editions have sold out.

Work printed by The Artists' Press can be found in numerous private and corporate collections around the world. Public collections include: The Smithsonian Institute, Bodleian Library (Oxford University), US Library of Congress, Johannesburg Art Gallery, University of the Witwatersrand Gallery Collection, Botswana National Museum and Art Gallery, South African National Archive, Museum of Modern Art (New York), University of Cape Town, Winterthur Library (Switzerland), Durban Art Gallery and Yale University (USA).
