Ink, Paper, Metal, and Wood presents eighty works by more than fifty artists. While the exhibition focues on printmaking of the highest quality and imagination, there is a parallel focus on the presentation of a wide variety of printing techniques. It is the intention of the show to use fine prints by highly regarded contemporary artists to "illustrate" the exciting and at times complex printing methods available today. From traditional methods like woodcut and etching to the inventive use of commercial techniques like photoetching, photogravure, and airbrush, the works in Ink, Paper, Metal, Wood exhibit the results of highly successful collaboration between artists and printers.
