Funding Cuts: Show Your Support For Towner Eastbourne By Purchasing Two Exclusive Robert Tavener Prints

To support Towner Eastbourne gallery, as it faces a cut in its local authority funding, two limited edition prints of Robert Tavener's works Cliffs & Foreshore, Seven Sisters and Boats & Nets are available to purchase for a limited time only.

These giclee prints have been reproduced from the original linocuts made in 1970 by Robert Tavener, each in a limited edition of only 250 and for sale at £195 unframed.

This is a rare opportunity for art lovers to acquire prints of Tavener's work, created with Emma Mason Gallery to mark the occasion of the exhibition Robert Tavener Shape, Pattern, Colour: The Art of Printmaking, on display at Towner until 3rd November.

Gallery Owner Emma Mason said: 

"An Eastbourne resident from 1953 until his death in 2004, Robert Tavener was a huge supporter of Towner in his lifetime. 

"It is therefore so fitting the sales of these beautiful prints are helping to support the gallery at such a critical time."

The two limited edition prints of Robert Tavener works Cliffs & Foreshore, Seven Sisters and Boats & Nets are available to purchase through Towner Eastbourne's Shop.
