Jack Lemon and his Landfall Press is one of a handful of fine art presses who work directly with the leading artists of our day. As Lemon notes, "in the collaborative situation, the artist relies on the printer not just for technical information but for essential judgments. . . . Communicating with artists is something I know how to do." This catalog documents 25 years of such collaboration with artists as diverse as Christo, Vito Acconci, Claes Oldenburg, and Sol LeWitt. Distributed for the Milwaukee Art Museum, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

The first major book to consider the life and work of Robert Arneson, A Troublesome Subject tells the fascinating story of how a high school art teacher transformed himself into an artist of international stature and ambition. Representing the full scope of ArnesonÕs career in a rich survey of color reproductions, this book is at once a study of the trajectory of contemporary culture, the work of Robert Arneson, and the relationship between the two. It shows how ArnesonÕs work articulated the crisis of narcissism that has defined American culture since 1970. Jonathan Fineberg develops his ongoing work toward a psychosocial history of art as he proceeds through ArnesonÕs careerÑchronicling his early life, the formation of a personal style, and finding a unique subject matter in his famous post-1970 turn to self-portraiture.

Founded in 1977 by entrepreneur and master printer Steven M. Anderson, Vermillion Editions Limited was a nationally recognized print workshop in the Minneapolis warehouse district and an important part of the 1970s American print renaissance. Anderson collaborated with highly regarded artists of the time, including Jasper Johns, Chuck Close, and Andy Warhol. Lavishly illustrated with prints from renowned Vermillion Editions, this book features photographs of the finished products and documents the process of fine printmaking. Essays describe the history of the printmaking shop and the place of Vermillion Editions within the broader context of American printmaking. This catalogue provides a beautiful and enlightening look at an exceptionally talented printmaker and his inspired work with the heavy hitters of contemporary art in the 1970s.

This informative book discusses the originality of the print as an art form, and questions the seminal role of the print in order to understand the movements and discourse on the arts in the past decades. In illuminating essays, three Chicago art scholars assess the open, cooperative style that makes Chicago printmaking unique, and consider the history of printmaking in Chicago in the context of the WPA, as well as the WPA's facilitation of interest in, and production of prints, and in its setting the stage for the evolution of contemporary print workshops. Includes 207 color and b/w illustrations.
