About this work

This is a 2009 screenprint by Ian Gonczarow. It’s part of a series made by recent art-school grads during a print-studio residency. Each year one grad from eight top London schools gets picked. The winners make a small print run, and all the prints go to the Victoria and Albert Museum. That’s how Gonczarow’s Tanks! landed in the V&A collection. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.

The story of this work

Overview

In 2009, Ian Gonczarow, a graduate of Goldsmiths, created *Tanks!* as part of the Jealous Print Studio Graduate Prize, an initiative awarding residencies to MA Fine Art graduates from eight London art schools. The winning artists produced limited-edition prints under studio guidance, with the collective works exhibited annually and later donated to the V&A print collection. Gonczarow’s contribution, *Tanks!*, reflects this collaborative and competitive framework.
