Printmaking is among the most intricate and intriguing spaces in art. For both collector and artist, this medium proffers a suite of good: collaboration, innovation and accessibility, to name just three. For artists, printmaking allows for collaboration with a master printmaker or workshop. It also cultivates innovation. Since its inception in 140 AD, printmaking has expanded from woodblock prints into etchings, lithographs, screen prints and now, digital prints.
