Thirty-five Years at Crown Point Press: Making Prints, Doing Art
Over the course of the past 35 years, California-based fine art publisher Crown Point Press has  established one of the finest reputations in the printmaking and publishing world. Founded byKathan Brown, the press is most renowned  for its innovative and experimental uses of the oldest and most traditional printmaking processes: etching  and woodcut. Under Brown's direction, Crown Point's master printmakers have worked on an astonishingly  broad array of projects, including those of John Cage, Tom Marioni, and Pat Steir. The press has also  printed and published important minimalist and conceptual graphics, as well as editions by such painterly  painters as Richard Diebenkorn, Francesco Clemente, and Helen Frankenthaler. More than 200 full-color,  beautifully reproduced prints in this softcover volume document the entire history and development of  Crown Point, confirming its unique and enduring contribution to the transformation of 20th-century  printmaking.
