Gallery Talk on Undiscovered Printmakers

On Thursday, January 21 at 6:00 PM, join the Library Associates for a gallery talk with Katharine Malcolm. Malcolm will discuss the new exhibition, followed by a reception.

Georgetown University Library was awarded a Hidden Collections grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) to catalog the personal collections of six significant 20th-century American printmakers: Helen King Boyer, Louise Miller Boyer, John De Pol, Marguerite Kumm, Kathleen Spagnolo and Lynd Ward.

The Undiscovered Printmakers cataloging project uncovered exciting new evidence about the artists’ working methods, illuminating the exploration of ideas and technical experimentation behind their finished works. This exhibition reveals the wide range of artistic media produced by these six graphic artists, from preliminary sketches, original illustrations, trial proofs, book mockups and finished prints, to the tools used to create them.
