Book (RA)
This dynamic print from Irish conceptual artist Michael Craig-Martin, is from a limited-edition of just 20, produced for the Royal Academy's exclusive RA Editions programme.
The open book, carefully cropped with its pages mid-turn, is a nod to both Craig-Martin's impressive career as one of the most influential artists and teachers of our generation, and to the Royal Academy's pioneering work as a centre for learning and debate.
Adopting his signature vibrant colour palette, "Book' is a prime example of the artist's playful and revered exploration of everyday objects.
This piece has been signed on the reverse.

Shadow float mounting is an option at our website, to give the appearance of an artwork floating within the frame. The mount – an archival foam core – creates depth too, by casting a shadow beneath the artwork. We highly recommend using a float mount when framing artwork with deckled (hand-torn) edges.

About the artist
Conceptual artist and painter Michael Craig-Martin is known for capturing the beauty in the everyday. Working with lurid and unexpected colour combinations and flat, minimalist compositions, Craig-Martin’s distinctive depictions of quotidian objects have secured him a place as one of the world’s most sought-after artists of the conceptual movement.
Teaching at Goldsmiths College School of Art from 1974–88, and again from 1994–2000, Craig-Martin was a key figure in the development of the Young British Artists, including Gary Hume, Ian Davenport, and Damien Hirst – a set who would go on to inspire a generation and leave an indelible mark on modern art. Craig-Martin’s influence can still be felt in the work of these artists, and his inimitable style continues to inspire new generations of emerging practitioners.
