Yale came to me and said there isn't an overarching book about the history of printmaking; they wanted it to be about the printed image.

The Duchamp exhibition at MoMA is encyclopedic, thought-provoking, and sometimes surprising. It spans the entire sixth floor and invites viewers to engage deeply with his work.
