For our spring Print Fair booth, we have chosen to highlight the range of techniques that fall under the umbrella of printmaking. Divided broadly into four categories (Relief, Intaglio, Planographic, and Stencil), the practice of printmaking encompasses a myriad of materials, tools, and processes. For this booth, Childs Gallery staff members have chosen some of their favorite representations of techniques from our vast collection of prints from the Renaissance through Contemporary period. Highlights of our booth include William Evertson’s striking contemporary woodblock, Capitol Offense, Giovanni Battista Scultori’s Mannerist engraving David Cutting the Head of Goliath (after Giulio Romano) and James Abbott McNeill Whistler’s Quiet Canal, a masterful example of etching and drypoint.
