Yale came to me and said there isn't an overarching book about the history of printmaking; they wanted it to be about the printed image. There are a lot of books about printing-about the history of journalism or the history of books, the printing press and the printed word-but not so much about the printed image and its processes. So that was my challenge.
Daniel Savage walked us through some of the material experimentations that led to the development of his distinct animation style. The designer demonstrated how his use of the pen plotter as more of a printmaking process has allowed his animations to become more than just films, shaping editorial illustration commissions for The New York Times as well as his new artist book Something Savage, published by Vitra editions.
When you enter the venue—be it a tent, airport hangar or convention centre—there is the feeling of anticipation and excitement of what you will see that is new, thought-provoking and unexpected. It's an experience for the senses. I'm looking forward to this year's Frieze and new discoveries!
Since launching its first project in 1968—a sculptural embossed silkscreen book by the multimedia artist Lucas Samaras—Pace Prints has worked with artists to expand the formal and technical possibilities of printmaking. In the ensuing decades, the publisher has supported projects by artists like Louise Nevelson and John Chamberlain that blur distinctions between print, collage, sculpture and painting, often emphasising scale and material experimentation.
The physical nature of the project was inspiring and fun for everyone and also contained within it a kind of message. If we are going to change the direction of our climate we are going to have to do it for real too - in the real world, by doing real stuff.
Barbara is an RC6300. Born in 1993, she's relatively old for a Risograph printing machine. She lived in a church basement in Beaverton until she was sold for $50 at an estate sale in 2013. A few years later, Barbara landed in the Kerns neighborhood at the Risograph print shop and studio Outlet-the shop's first, though Outlet founder Kate Bingaman-Burt has since added three Riso sisters to the family: Janet, Corita, and Lil' Tina.
Sebastian Foster is thrilled to present its 2025 Fall Print Set, marking the 13th anniversary of the collection since publishing the first set in 2012. The new release features 20 works by well-established illustrators, printmakers, and painters from around the world. The prints in this set have all been published as relatively small editions, hand-signed, and numbered by the artists.
The funny thing about illusions is how true they can be. In Soren Hope's solo show, Two Time at New York Life Gallery, there is great truth to be discovered. Deftly playing with abstraction and figuration, repetition and fragmentation, Hope's paintings and prints are at once dazzling and contemplative, decipherable and utterly beguiling. But there are no cheap tricks here-no feints or gotchas. Rather, Hope's show is a profound meditation upon the fallibility of perception and the folly of certainty.
