Anita Lynn Forgach Keynote Address

The combination of papermaking and printmaking processes can produce beautiful, unusual results. We will look at some memorable editions and unique works made at the Pace Paper workshop in Brooklyn, New York, including works by contemporary artists Donald Baechler, Will Cotton, Leonardo Drew, Tomoo Gokita and Li Songsong, among others. The talk will wrap up with discussion of trends in the paper and art worlds, and projections of the future direction of both.

Ruth Lingen studied papermaking and printmaking with Walter Hamady and Joe Wilfer, and has spent years learning on the job with many other mentors. As director of Pace Paper in Brooklyn, NY, she has collaborated with dozens of artists including Jim Dine, Robert Ryman, Mary Heilmann, Kiki Smith, Chuck Close and Jessica Stockholder. Her collaborative artists books are held in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Getty, The Brooklyn Museum, and over twenty libraries, including the New York Public Library and Harvard University.
