This event has ended.

For much of their long, shared history, papermaking has been printmaking’s silent partner. As printmaking boomed in the post-war decades, American artists demanded new varieties of paper, eventually turning to the papermaking process itself for fresh ideas.

This focused exhibition, curated by Susan Gosin (co-founder of the papermaking studio Dieu Donné) and Mina Takahashi (editor of the journal Hand Papermaking), brings together work by over 65 adventurous artists—guided by master papermakers, in concert with skilled printers and supportive publishers—who dove deep into the process to engage hand papermaking as an artistic medium in itself. Spanning nearly six decades of collaboration between the two fields,
these iconic works, by such groundbreaking artists as Mel Bochner, Louise Bourgeois, Chakaia Booker, Leonardo Drew, Helen Frankenthaler, Jane Hammond, David Hockney, William Kentridge, Louise Nevelson, Robert Rauschenberg, Arlene Shechet, Kiki Smith, Frank Stella, and many others, shine a light on the American story of reinventing a craft and commercial process into an art form.
