Flatbed Press, a collaborative publishing workshop in Austin,
Texas, has become one of the premier artists' printshops in America
and an epicenter for the art form. Founded in 1989 by Mark Lesly
Smith and Katherine Brimberry, Flatbed provides studio spaces for
visiting artists to work with the press's master printers to create
limited editions of original etchings, lithographs, woodcuts, and
monotypes. The roster of artists who have worked at Flatbed
includes Robert Rauschenberg, John Alexander, Dan Rizzie, Terry
Allen, Michael Ray Charles, Luis Jimenez, Julie Speed, Trenton
Doyle Hancock, and James Surls. Prints produced at Flatbed have
been collected by major museums-the Museum of Modern Art, the
Metropolitan Art Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the
Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Brooklyn Museum, among
others. Lavishly illustrated and printed, Flatbed Press at 25
presents a quarter-century retrospective of the press's
productions. The book features the prints of thirty-five prominent
artists who have collaborated with the press, each represented by
full-color plates and a lively reminiscence by Smith and Brimberry
that describes the process of working with the artist. Eighty
additional artists are also included with a single print and
documentary details. Susan Tallman's introduction places Flatbed in
a national context, defines its uniqueness, and discusses many of
the outstanding artworks that have been created there. Photographs
of the facilities and equipment, technical processes, and artists
and printers at work, as well as a chronology and glossary,
complete the volume.
