Artwork description:

‘I only photograph ‘things’, and I only photograph what I encounter. I don’t go hunting. I am not a snooper. Looking and seeing often overlap. If we ‘see’ something, is that an ‘image’? When does imagination enter our internal conversation? How do we share? Who do we want to keep out? I am very interested in the narrow line between public and private. The links and the leaves here are in a mad conversation. Human relationships are often quite like this image – in a state of variable mutual accommodation.’ - Richard Wentworth

School Prints revives a groundbreaking scheme set up in the 1940s to supply original, high-quality contemporary art to primary schools. Last year, six British artists – Martin Creed, Jeremy Deller, Anthea Hamilton, Helen Marten, Haroon Mirza and Rose Wylie – were invited to create limited edition prints that were gifted to participating Wakefield schools.

In 2019, Fiona Banner, Sir Peter Blake, Francis Upritchard and Richard Wentworth created a new series of limited edition prints as part of the scheme.

All profits raised by the series of limited edition prints will fund an engagement programme with the participating schools, which last year reached over 1,000 pupils in our district. The prints have kindly been donated by the artists.
