Edited by Esther Adler. Featuring interviews with thirteen artists who have worked with Jacob Samuel The Los Angeles-based master printer and publisher Jacob Samuel collaborated with some of the most influential artists of our time, introducing painters, sculptors, photographers, and even performance artists to etching, a printmaking technique with a five-hundred-year history. The results—the more than seventy portfolios, books, and individual prints published by Edition Jacob Samuel between 1988 and 2015—are compelling evidence of the beauty and versatility of traditional printmaking and its relevance for artists and audiences today. Featuring works by Marina Abramović, Mona Hatoum, Rebecca Horn, Jannis Kounellis, Barry McGee, Wangechi Mutu, Gabriel Orozco, and Christopher Wool, among many other contemporary artists, this richly illustrated catalogue accompanies a career-defining exhibition of Edition Jacob Samuel publications at The Museum of Modern Art.
