Women in Print, an exhibition featuring prints by women artists Jennifer Bartlett, Lesley Dill, Helen Frankenthaler, Elizabeth Murray, Kiki Smith, Pat Steir, Kara Walker and others, will be at Jim Kempner Fine Art from March 6 through April 11, 1998. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10-6 and Sunday from 12 - 5.

The art of the print has been central to the career of many women artists.This exhibition will focus on the visual exploration through the various print media - woodcut, lithography, silkscreen, etching and aquatint. Major print workshops, including ULAE, Gemini, Tyler and Parasol Press will be represented.

Among the works in the exhibition will be Waterfall, 1988, the exquisite aquatint by Pat Steir in which the waterfall is a delicate, streaming current of light, shadow, and form; Untitled (Baby's Legs), 1990, a unique print variant printed by the artist; and Paper Under Tape, Paint over Paper by Sylvia Plimack Mangold, a splendid example of Mangold's trompe l'oeil illusionism and her insistence that the print is meant to be seen as an idea of a thing, despite the risk that it may be mistaken for the thing itself.
