One of the many perks of the Washington, DC area is the stunning array of top-tier art museums, many of which (thanks to our federal government) have free admission, encouraging "pop-ins' without knowing what's on beforehand. A recent swing-by to the American Art Museum to take in Annie Lebovitz' latest photographic masterpiece "Pilgrimage" unearthed a concurrent printmaking show called "Multiplicity". Totally culled from the museum's permanent collection, the exhibit features some of the most innovative contemporary prints. Aside from the impressive lineup of screenprints, I fell in love all over again with the work of Judy Pfaff, whose work I first encountered at Tandem Press in Madison, WIsconsin. The Drummer and the Dance (above), is one of 12 prints inspired by a trip to Japan. Outside her gorgeous and gifted mingling of text, imagery and color, Pfaff often creates her frames. Here, she gives us a hand-stenciled and silver leafed construction which propells the print to object.
