      The book cover 270 x 249 mm

This book is the first and only catalogue raisonné of his original prints (excluding monotypes). It has been written and compiled by Dominic Kemp with contributions and essays from Anthony Frost, John Hoyland RA, Stanley Jones MBE, Brad Faine and Charles Booth-Clibborn.

Each print has its own, fully described catalogue entry, illustrated in full colour and in most cases occupies its own full page.There is a detailed introduction by Dominic Kemp, including photographs of the artist at work, together with insightful responses from family, colleagues, printers and publishers. Endnotes, a glossary, chronology of the artist's life, list of exhibitions, index of titles, index of publishers, and a page of signature examples complete the book, which has already become the primary reference tool for Terry Frost's prints.

The book is available in hardback, comprising 304 pages with 260 colour illustrations, published by Lund Humphries, 2010. The print run was 2000 and we are down to under 500 now.

There is also a Special Edition and a  never seen before original etching by Terry Frost. The etching, Red and Black Sunburst (below), was proofed before the artist's death, in 2003, at Stoneman Graphics, Cornwall, and is now published in an edition of 100 to accompany the Special Edition of the book. There are now less than ten remaining!
