Paragon Press was launched in 1986 and has since published over 100 projects involving some of the most renowned contemporary artists.
Read MoreThe artists are selected by Charles Booth-Clibborn, founder of Paragon and are invited to create a project in the form of a series or portfolio of prints. Many of the artists have previously had little or no exposure to printmaking.

LONDON — It's a hot mid-afternoon in the West End's posh Mayfair district, and Damien Hirst is standing outside the glass double-doors of the White Cube gallery, looking every inch the devil-may-care prankster out of some early Shakespearean comedy.
Damien Hirst has recently unveiled a new series of his 'butterfly-wing paintings' and the internet is ablaze with debate.
