Perspectives on contemporary printmaking: Critical writing since 1986

by Ruth Pelzer-Montada (Editor)

This anthology, the first of its kind, presents thirty-two texts on contemporary prints and printmaking written from the mid-1980s to the present by authors from across the world. The texts range from history and criticism to creative writing. More than a general survey, they provide a critical topography of artistic printmaking during the period. The book is directed at an audience of international stakeholders in the field of contemporary print, printmaking and printmedia, including art students, practising artists, museum curators, critics, educationalists, print publishers and print scholars. It expands debate in the field and will act as a starting point for further research.

[Alice Porto · Rating 4 out of 5]

some really insightful and much needed theory of contemporary printmaking which was quite hard to find, fragments turned into patchwork, hopefully paving the way to a broader, dense and international discussion. some of the texts are richer than others, and that's OK. in spite of the lows on this publication, it's still one of the best on the subject I have found to this day
