Jasper Johns: Variations on a Theme, Printmaking Workshop
(Jun 2–Sep 9, 2012)
As part of the Jasper Johns: Variations on a Theme at The Phillips Collection, master printer and professor Scip Barnhart demonstrated to visitors the following printmaking processes: intaglio, lithography, and silkscreen in a workshop adjacent to the exhibition. Inspired by Johns’s imagery, Barnhart also created for the workshop a lithographic stone and an etching plate and lent a c. 1900 Fuchs and Lang press and printing materials from etching needles and plates to inks and a silkscreen. Barnhart’s demonstration was filmed to offer a behind- the-scenes look at the printmaking process.
