Graphicstudio: Uncommon Practice at USF explores the incredible body of art from Graphicstudio, the print atelier at the University of South Florida, Tampa, Florida that has hosted artists including Louise Bourgeois, Jim Dine, Alex Katz, and Roy Lichtenstein. Founded in 1968, the studio has developed an international reputation, and work produced at Graphicstudio can now be found in private and museum collections across the world. This volume presents over one hundred artworks by forty-five artists including Chuck Close, Roy Lichtenstein, Christian Marclay, Philip Pearlstein, Robert Rauschenberg, Ed Ruscha, and Kiki Smith. The range of artworks includes etchings, photo- and direct gravures, digital or pigment prints, cyanotypes, lithographs, woodcuts and screen prints, as well as sculpture in bronze, concrete, basalt, and cast epoxy resin. Author Jade Dellinger investigates Graphicstudio's innovative atmosphere and interdisciplinary resources as well as the technical challenges artists have faced. Illustrated case studies focus on the work of seven artists; also featured are four illustrated interviews with the current and past Graphicstudio directors and brief biographies of the careers of the forty-five artists represented.
