The Apple Tree by Robin Duttson

We are thrilled to present Robin Duttson's The Apple Tree

Robin Duttson's set of four lithograph prints is now available. Inspired by his parent's apple tree, it beautifully captures the delicacy of springtime. View it at the AAF Hampstead, and read more about it here.

Lithograph on Somerset paper
Edition of 45, signed and editioned by the artist

Robin Duttson has been working closely with TAG Fine Arts and The Curwen Studio to create an ambitious new four-part piece, The Apple Tree.

As a child, Robin would watch the seasonal changes on the apple tree at his parents' farm in Devon. When they moved recently, he wanted to record it. He hand-drew 48 different separations to make up the plates for the prints, working in a wealth of detail.

The final proofs are nearing completion so watch this space for new images and information.
