Gordon House

United Kingdom • 1932 - 2004

Biography

Gordon House produced many of his own prints first at Kelpra Studios, and then in his own studio, White Ink which he set up with his friend Cliff White. This studio would attract artists of the likes of Eduardo Paolozzi, Richard Hamilton and Bernard Cohen, and would cement the mediums of screen printing, etching and wood engraving in the world of fine art. Gordon House's success as a designer and print maker saw his involvement in the creation of the covers of both “Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" and the “White Album" by the Beatles.

The artist has been widely exhibited, both in group and solo shows. In 1982 the Carnegie Institute, Pittsburg held a retrospective exhibition of his graphic work which then travelled to the Brooklyn Museum, New York. Today Gordon House's work can be found in the public collections of the Tate Britain and the Victoria & Albert in London, the MoMA in New York and the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra.
