The Boston Printmakers is proud to announce the publication of 60 Years of North American Prints by David Acton, Curator of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs at the Worcester Art Museum.

This 200 page, full-color volume chronicles the growth and expansion of the print medium since 1947 through sixty prints representing the best award-winning prints and purchases from sixty years of Boston Printmakers exhibitions.

Clifford S. Ackley, Curator of Prints and Drawings at the Museum of Fine Arts - Boston, writes "this publication is an original, and much-needed, historical record of printmaking workshops in the Boston area from the late 1950s to the present. It provides the reader with detailed, carefully documented biographies and analyses of individual technique for 60 creative printmakers, such diverse artistic personalities as Ture Béngtz, George Lockwood, Carol Summers, Karen Kunc, Michael Mazur, Deborah Cornell and Andrew Raftery. It is an essential book for any library or reader seriously concerned with contemporary American printmaking."
