The available catalogues are:
Forgotten Etchers: Nineteenth-Century Prints, From the Collection of Reba
and Dave Williams, 1998, 9" x 6", 42 pages, 14 black-and-white reproductions,
essay by Lauren B. Hewes, biographies of more than 40 artists. This small,
beautifully designed catalogue fills in gaps in the general understanding of
printmakers who created intaglio prints of landscapes, figures, cityscapes, and
portraits in the 19th century. The documentation of so many impressive graphic
images reminds readers that history is an arbitrary filter of information. $7 +

Contacting Pablo Picasso: The Influence of Picasso on American Printmakers,
From the Collection of Reba and Dave Williams, 2003, 8½" x 11", 18 pages, four
black-and-white reproductions, essay, notes on 56 prints included in the
exhibition. This catalogue offers a discussion of Pablo Picasso's influence on
American printmakers of the 20th century. It quotes artists such as Roy
Lichtenstein, Gabor Peterdi, Max Weber, Alexander Calder, and Marguerite Zorach,
who acknowledge the impact of Picasso's graphic images on their artwork. $10 +

Alone in a Crowd: Prints of the 1930s-40s by African-American Artists,
From the Collection of Reba and Dave Williams, 1993, 9" x 11", 60 pages, 27
black-and-white reproductions, eight color reproductions, essays by M. Stephen
Doherty, Lowery Stokes Sims, Reba and Dave Williams, and Leslie King-Hammond,
biographies of more than 40 artists. This catalogue documents a period of time
when black artists were given their first significant opportunity to learn
printmaking techniques. Studios that were set up under the auspices of the Works
Progress Administration in Cleveland, Philadelphia, Boston, and other locations
offered instruction to those artists, and charitable organizations such as the
Rosenwald Foundation made it possible for the artists to travel and study
outside the United States. The publication is a unique document of an important
social and artistic development. $15 + shipping and handling
The Mexican Muralists and Prints, From the Collection of Reba and Dave
Williams, 1990, 12" x 9", 44 pages, 22 black-and-white reproductions, essay by
Reba and Dave Williams, biographies of the artists, and an exhibition checklist.
The catalogue documents the cross-pollination of ideas and images between the
artwork created by the Mexican muralists and the Mexican printmakers who worked
from the 1920s through the 1940s. It also shows evidence of the influence that
art had on artists from other countries who worked with the Mexican artists,
including Elizabeth Catlett, George Biddle, Stephen Dimitroff, Lucienne Bloch,
and Will Barnet. $10 + shipping and handling
American Screenprints, From the Collection of Reba and Dave Williams,
1991, 9" x 9", 64 pages, 41 color reproductions, essay by Reba and Dave
Williams, biographies of the artists, and a checklist of the exhibition.
Screenprints-or silk-screen prints, as they are commonly known-are most closely
associated with Pop artists of the 1960s, such as Andy Warhol and Roy
Lichtenstein, but the medium captivated the attention of artists from the late
1920s through the 1950s when it was appropriated from the commercial printing
industry. This catalogue describes that early development and reproduces prints
by Ben Shahn, Charles Burchfield, Reginald Marsh, Jackson Pollock, and others.

The Prints of Luigi Rist, 1995, 8½" x 11", 40 pages, 36 black-and-white
reproductions, 16 color reproductions, essay by Reba and Dave Williams. Louis G.
Rist (1888-1959), was an American printmaker who created beautiful woodcut
prints that won major awards in the 1940s and 1950s. The first essay in this
catalogue covers Rist's biography, including his education and exhibition
record, and it is followed by a description of Rist's working methods and his
system of publishing editions, numbering the individual prints, as well as
dating and signing his prints. Much of the information about Rist is based on
published articles and an unpublished book by Barbara Whipple, a frequent
contributor to American Artist until her death in 1989. $15 + shipping and
