Portfolio Information
E3 4RR is the first ever print portfolio produced by Matt’s Gallery. In a limited edition of 25, it brings together fifteen internationally acclaimed contemporary artists. It is presented in an A3 black buckram covered box with typography designed by Phil Baines. Each work is printed using archival ink and paper and interleaved in archival tissue. There are 17 proof copies for the artists, Matt’s Gallery, London and Wimbledon College of Art.

E3 4RR has been put together by Robin Klassnik and employs the same philosophy as the gallery’s exhibition programme. The development of the portfolio has been an organic process with an emphasis on the dialogue between Klassnik and each of the artists when developing and selecting the work. This process has been essential in bringing together a body of work from fifteen very different artists.

All prints have been specifically produced for E3 4RR and generously donated by the artists towards Matt’s Gallery's ongoing fundraising initiative. The sale of the portfolio will help the gallery to continue to provide a platform for emerging and established artists to make innovative, challenging and ambitious works; commission new publications and publish a 30 year Matt’s Gallery book; develop an extensive archive and enhance its role in education; and provide bursaries for internships enabling an active participation in nurturing the next generation of cultural leaders.

Matt’s Gallery is a not for profit organisation and operates in the heart of the East End of London. It represents and exhibits some of the UK’s most exciting and inventive artists such as Turner prize nominees Willie Doherty and Mike Nelson, who are included in E3 4RR.
