Colby Museum of Art, Maine
13 July 2024 – 12 January 2025

Drawn entirely from the Colby College Museum of Art’s collection, including several recent acquisitions, the show features leaders of the nineteenth-century Etching Revival, like Mary Cassatt and Edgar Degas, twentieth-century innovators, such Stanley William Hayter and Mavis Pusey, on up to the contemporary practitioners as Leonardo Drew, Amy Sillman, and Terry Winters, among others. This exhibition showcases the incredible technical, formal, and conceptual versatility of the medium over time, demonstrating why it holds such extraordinary scientific and artistic distinction within the broader practice of printmaking.
