While printmaking has been well known and highly regarded for over 500 years now (becoming quite popular following prolific and high quality works by 15th century artists such as Albrecht Durer), its desirability as a collectable item has seen cycles of interest. One of the more current influences was the technical innovations of the mid 20th Century which came to the attention of some of that time’s most respected painters, i.e. Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, andAndy Warhol to name few. They expanded their practice to include printmaking, alongside other media works, and these prints became highly collectable. This trend, of making works incorporating traditional orthodox methods and new technology opportunities has continued. Even artists known most for paintings are often producing collectible printworks. “The Enduring Print” presents some of our favorites from the collection of Atrium artists. Included are works by: Suzanne Caporael, Leila Daw, Ellen Glasgow, David Klamen, Karen Kunc, Michael Marshall, Cameron Martin, Jeanine Coupe Ryding, and Steven Sorman.
