Major New Donation to Kent Print Collection
We are delighted to announce a major donation of several hundred prints to the Kent Print Collection. The prints range from the Sixteenth Century to the present day and cover the complete range of techniques used during the history of printmaking.
The donation has been very generously made by Mr. P. Y. Chin, of the art dealership Chinfineart, who has been the principal sponsor of the Kent Print Collection since its foundation in 2005.
Mr. Chin's intention in making this gift was "to provide students taking the module Print Collecting and Curating with a very useful exercise in identifying print techniques, periods, and subjects. This will stand them in good stead as practitioners when they graduate".
Ben Thomas, convenor of the module, states that "we have already put the prints donated by Mr. Chin to use in classroom exercises in cataloguing, and they are proving invaluable in providing students with the opportunity to acquire the discipline of print scholarship by handling art objects and working directly from them. 
This would not have been possible without such generous support".
