Latest News from the
Foundation
Reba and Dave Williams
have donated the physical assets of The Print Research Foundation to The
National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.
The National Gallery now
owns the Foundation's print collection, library, reference files, and
the building at 258 Atlantic Street, Stamford, CT. For this reason, the
Foundation can no longer accept visitors or provide research services.
The Print Research
Foundation will continue to sponsor independent research on prints made
by American artists, and the Reba and Dave Williams Prize for articles
about American prints published in Print Quarterly. Catalogues of
exhibitions of prints from the collection of Reba and Dave Williams, and
Dr. Williams's dissertation, The Weyhe Gallery Between the Wars,
1919-1940, remain available for purchase. The Foundation is now
located at 41 West 57th Street, New York, NY 10019; or

"All About Prints"
This film, funded by The Print Research
Foundation, had its premiere on Friday, October 31. The event was
attended by about 150 dealers, curators, collectors and other interested
parties, many of whom walked over to Pratt House on East 68th Street
after the IFPDA Print Fair closed for the evening.
"All About Prints" was edited and produced by Chris Noey of Stereopticon
Pictures. It features interviews with artists, such as Will Barnet and
Kiki Smith, curators (Antony Griffiths of The British Museum, Debbie Wye
of MOMA, David Kiehl from the Whitney), dealers (Brooke Alexander,
Robert Newman, Susan Teller) and art historians and collectors.
The Public Broadcasting System has accepted the film, and it will be
shown on many PBS stations starting Spring-Summer, 2009. A DVD will be
produced, but the timing and method of its distribution is undecided.
A second premiere was held in London on
November 19, 2008.
