University contributes to Bechtler exhibit

“The Art of the Print,” organized by Erik Waterkotte and assistant professor in the Department of Art + Art History, is on display through Sunday, June 19, at the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art.

The College of Arts + Architecture lent the museum specialized tools used in the four major types of printmaking: relief, intaglio, lithography and screen printing. In addition, the exhibit is displaying a worked woodblock and lithography stone with corresponding artwork printed from them by recent graduates Lauren Ernst and Andrew Steed.

Located on the second-floor gallery, “The Art of the Print” examines printmaking techniques dating from the 16^th century. According to the museum, the display will provide “a little behind-the-scenes look that will reveal the mastery and materiality uniquely embedded in printmaking.”
