Presented by Print Council of America.

Louis Marchesano and Laurel Garber will discuss the history of collecting and exhibiting screenprints at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. From Carl Zigrosser’s support of “serigraphy,” to Richard Field’s landmark 1971 “Silk Screen: History of a Medium” exhibition, to the recent addition of the Brand X Edition archive to the permanent collection, Philadelphia has long been an important site for the study, research, and display of this vital medium.

This discussion relates to the exhibition "Brand X Editions: Innovation in Screenprinting" on view at the Philadelphia Museum of Art through November 16th.
