The Workmanship of Uncertainty

Peter Green: The Workmanship of Uncertainty is the first monograph tracing Green’s work from his earliest influences through to the most recent works to emerge from the artist’s studio. It is written by art historian and curator Nathaniel Hepburn (author of Barbara Hepworth: The Hospital Drawings, Tate 2012 and Cedric Morris and Christopher Wood: A Forgotten Friendship, Unicorn 2012).

With the second edition now sold out, St Jude’s Prints will be printing a third edition of the book later this year. If you’d like to express your interest in a copy, please complete this form.

“So much workmanship is that of certainty when you know the result before you start and that is very dispiriting. Whereas if you do not know it – if it’s the workmanship of uncertainty – you don’t know the result and that’s a nice definition of creativity.”
