The Birgit Skiold Memorial Trust (1983 ]. Birgit Skiöld (1923-1982) was a Swedish printmaker, heralded as one of the most important printmakers of the 20th century. From 1958 until her death in May 1982, Birgit ran the highly successful Print Workshop in the basement of 28 Charlotte Street, London. The workshop was the first open-access professional print workshop in England. After the death of the artist, 'A Tribute to Birgit Skiold' was produced to raise funds for the Birgit Skiold Memorial Trust in 1983. 118 artists from various countries contributed free of charge an edition of 25 prints in the 30 x 30 cm format, to create a portfolio of three volumes.The artists featured in this portfolio were taught by or worked with Skiöld.
