Pressing Print: Universal Limited Art Editions 2000-2010

Pressing Print chronicles the recent decade of artwork published by the renowned American printmaking workshops, Universal Limited Art Editions. The exhibition brings together new print works made by the vanguards of 20th century American Art with the emerging artists recently selected to collaborate at Universal. The selections illustrate the impact that artists like Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Helen Frankenthaler and Kiki Smith have had on contemporary art, evident through the work of artists Jason Middelbrook, Amy Cutler and Jane Hammond. In addition, the works selected illustrate how this new generation of artists have influenced the current trend, in both process and concept. The 52 works selected for the exhibition exemplify why the artwork created at Universal Limited Art Editions has been, and continues to be, a transformative force in contemporary printmaking.
