“Landfall Press: Five Decades of Printmaking”
Oct. 3-Feb. 9, 2020
Milwaukee Art Museum
700 N. Art Museum Drive

“The Landfall Press exhibition and the Landfall Press Archive both present a wide range of subjects and styles, and several of the works redefine what a print can be,” said Nikki Otten, associate curator of prints and drawings at the Milwaukee Art Museum. “The diversity of voices in the Landfall Press Archive enhances our collection, and we are pleased to be part of Landfall’s artistic and educational legacy.” This new exhibition features approximately 100 editioned prints, many from the Milwaukee Art Museum’s Landfall Press Archive, that are the result of collaboration and experimentation at Landfall. Stories from the workshop are brought to life through photographs, videos and documents, and a lithography press and printing materials showcase the hand-printing process that the workshop sustains and advances.
