How to Collect Fine Art Prints

Artwork on paper can be an excellent and affordable way to build a collection of enduring value and beauty. Kimberly Henrikson, Executive Director of the Center for Contemporary Printmaking, will present an overview of the print medium – from printmaking methods and the printmaking studio to the ‘how to’ of buying and assembling a collection of fine art prints. Henrikson will use an assortment of unframed prints to explain the differences, the process behind them, and their relative value in the art market.

This program coincides with the final week of the exhibition currently on view in the Library’s Lightburn Gallery, Printmaking: Bringing Historic Processes to the Present.
