Top tip: email the Prints & Drawings Room at Tate Britain and request an appointment to see as many of the Victor Pasmore prints they have in the vaults in one go as you can

I did this a few years ago and if I recall correctly, they put out about 10 individual prints and a portfolio with about a dozen more ('The Image in Search of Itself'). Online catalogue lists 94 Pasmore works, most of which are prints.

I was doing a printmaking course at the time and had got quite into his work. I was amazed they did this - it was like having a personal exhibition put on, at about a weeks notice, and the curator was chatty and enthusiastic.

Excellent people, I suppose some of them must really hate the fact that 99% of what they have is sitting in a cellar in the dark, they must really enjoy getting them out for interested parties.
