The Power of the Press:   Selected prints from the Colorado Collection, University of Colorado at Boulder                
Guest curated by Bud Shark, Director and Master Printer of Shark's Ink., Lyons, CO   

Prints have been used by artists as a form of expressing social and political ideas for centuries. Artists have taken advantage of the graphic quality and ease of duplication afforded by printmaking processes, allowing them to distribute their images to wide audiences. This exhibition, curated by Colorado publisher and Master printer Bud Shark, focuses on prints from the Colorado Collection that have a socio-political inclination. Works in the exhibition span printmaking history, beginning with Jacques Callot, William Hogarth and Francisco Goya, through more recent prints by Enrique Chagoya, Louise Bourgeois, Glenn Ligon and Hachivi Edgar Heap of Birds.
