Print, Cut, Layer, Repeat: Joyce Kozloff, María de Los Angeles, and Judith Solodkin in Conversation

October 30, 2026 · 12:00 – 1:00 PM ET

Joyce Kozloff, María de Los Angeles and Judith Solodkin

How does a drawing become a print—and how does a print continue to evolve long after it leaves the press? Bringing together artist Joyce Kozloff, artist María de Los Angeles, and master printer Judith Solodkin, this conversation traces the creative possibilities that emerge through collaboration, experimentation, and reinvention across generations of printmakers. The discussion begins with Kozloff's groundbreaking lithographs produced at the Tamarind Lithography Workshop in the early 1970s and her decades-long collaboration with Judith Solodkin, the first woman to graduate from Tamarind's Master Printer program and founder of SOLO Impression Inc., as they reflect on the collaborative process of fine art lithography, in which an artist's marks on stone, plate, or film are translated into a printable matrix through successive proofs and layers of color. As drawing becomes editionable, the print workshop becomes a place of dialogue, investigation, and technical discovery. The conversation will consider printmaking not simply as a medium but as a way of thinking—one rooted in collaboration, revision, and continual transformation. By bringing together a pioneering master printer, an artist whose formative lithographic experiments shaped an interdisciplinary career, and an emerging artist expanding the possibilities of graphic art today, the panel highlights the enduring vitality of drawing and printmaking. Moderated by Elisa Germán, Lunder Curator of Works on Paper and Whistler Studies, Colby College Museum of Art

Designing the Gilded Age: Drawings from the Studios of Louis C. Tiffany

October 27, 2026 · 12:00 – 1:00 PM ET

Alice Cooney Frelinghuysen

Join Alice Cooney Frelinghuysen, The Met’s Anthony W. and Lulu C. Wang Curator of American Decorative Arts, for a behind the scenes webinar on the stories and surprises behind the exhibition *Designing the Gilded Age: Drawings from the Studios of Louis C. Tiffany*. The dazzling stained-glass windows, lamps, mosaics, and interiors from the studios of the visionary American artist Louis Comfort Tiffany—hallmarks of the Gilded Age—began as drawings created by the many talented designers in Tiffany’s studios. Designing the Gilded Age: Drawings from the Studios of Louis C. Tiffany showcases rare design drawings to take us behind the scenes of the studios where the drawings were made and ultimately transformed into enduring works of art. Intended for commissions dating from the mid-1880s through the 1920s in the U.S. and internationally, the nearly 120 luminous watercolor drawings present the first step in the artistic process for interiors and decorations for the grand mansions, civic and sacred spaces, and other buildings created during America’s Gilded Age, the post–Civil War era that saw an unprecedented accumulation of wealth. The featured drawings, all from The Met collection, have never before been studied in depth, and the exhibition celebrates the decades-long conservation initiative that restored them to their full beauty. Along with new insights into the artists’ process and design inspiration, the drawings offer a unique opportunity to peel back the layers of some of the most heralded creations produced by Tiffany's legendary studios.

Hokusai: Thirty-Six Views of Mt. Fuji at the Dulwich Picture Gallery

October 23, 2026 · 12:00 – 1:00 PM ET

Join Jennifer Scott, Director of The Dulwich Picture Gallery, the world's oldest purpose-built public art museum, for an introduction to the collection and a virtual tour of *Hokusai: Thirty-Six Views of Mt. Fuji.* This landmark exhibition marks the first time the complete set of *Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji* by Katsushika Hokusai has been shown in the UK. These works demonstrate Hokusai’s innovative approach to composition, perspective, and colour, including his pioneering use of the newly introduced Prussian blue pigment, a development so popular that it led the publisher to expand the original series with ten additional prints. Highlights include a rare variant of *Clear Day with a Southern Breeze (also known as Red Fuji)*, alongside a beautifully preserved impression of *Under the Wave off Kanagawa*, commonly known as *The Great Wave*. Together, these prints reveal Hokusai at the height of his creative power, combining technical mastery with poetic imagination. The exhibition is made possible through the courtesy of the Iuchi Collection, in partnership with The National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo, with additional support provided by the IFPDA Foundation.
