Jack Lemon and his Landfall Press is one of a handful of fine art presses who work directly with the leading artists of our day. As Lemon notes, "in the collaborative situation, the artist relies on the printer not just for technical information but for essential judgments. . . . Communicating with artists is something I know how to do." This catalog documents 25 years of such collaboration with artists as diverse as Christo, Vito Acconci, Claes Oldenburg, and Sol LeWitt. Distributed for the Milwaukee Art Museum, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Pressing Innovation: Printing Fine Art in the Upper Midwest is published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name at the Chazen Museum of Art February 14 through Ma15, 2022, which explores the history and work of fine-art presses in the Upper Midwest, focusing on each press's distinct mission and contribution to printmaking in the late-twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. The exhibition traces connections--a network of teachers and master printer-that link the presses in varied ways. Together, this group fits within a broader history of American printmaking during the last fifty years. This exhibition and its catalog is the first to examine a history of fine-art presses specific to the Upper Midwest. Included are a wide range of prints by a diverse community of artists including recent works that have not yet been widely exhibited.

The years from 1960 to 1990 witnessed an extraordinary outburst of creative activity among American printmakers. A number of important new workshops were founded, from such influential studios as Universal Limited Art Editions as Long Island and the Tamarind Lithography Workshop in Los Angeles to small presses throughout the country. In contrast to traditional European ateliers, where professional printers reproduced artists' designs for commercial edition printing, the new American workshops stressed collaboration, and emphasized radical experimentation with medium and process. The work produced in these studios often owed as much to the imaginative gifts of the printer as the conception of the artist.

Prints form an integral part of Allen Jones's creative processes and are as important to him as painting and sculpture. It is therefore scarcely surprising that, ever since his student days, he has produced a steady stream of graphic works, mainly lithographs, but also screenprints and some etchings. Centring on the human figure, Jones's images exude a guilt-free eroticism and an unrestrained joie de vivre rare in British art. Sometimes misinterpreted as sexist, this imagery, like that of Derek Boshier, David Hockney, R. B. Kitaj and Peter Phillips, Jones's contemporaries at the Royal College of Art, London, in the early 1960s, is both a eulogy and a critique of consumerism. This book, published to coincide with a travelling exhibition of the artist's prints, is the first complete catalogue of Jones's work in this field. Containing reproductions of all the artist's graphics, many of them photographed specially for the occasion, it celebrates over thirty-five years of a major artist's activity as a master printmaker.
