Dates: September 15 through November 23, 1952.
The exhibition will feature the technical innovations and experiments and the evolution of a visual language in fine printmaking being developed by outstanding artists working in the United States. Included will be original works by approximately thirty well-known artists. One hundred items will include, besides completed prints, the actual wood blocks, metal plates, lithographic stones, cellocut plates, serigraph screens, initial sketches, and early trial proofs used by the artist to achieve his goal. An unusual feature of the exhibition will be a group of monotypes, plaster molds from copper plate designs, string compositions and other items from which the artist derives new ideas and new ways of creative expression. Among the artists included in this exhibition will be: Fred Becker, E. Casarella, Wordon Day, Arthur Deshaies, Antonio Frasconi, Sue Fuller, Leon Goldin, Milton Goldstein, Stanley William Hayter, Max Kahn, Misch Kohn, Armin Landeck, Edward Landon, Mauricio Lasansky, Byron McClintock, Boris Margo, Ezio Martinelli, Seong Moy, Gabor Peterdi, Abraham Rattner, Bernard Reder, Louis Schanker and Adja Yunkers.
