From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Pratt Graphics Center)

The Pratt Graphic Art Center also called the Pratt Graphics Center was a print workshop and gallery in New York. The Center grew out of Margaret Lowengrund's Contemporaries Graphic Art Centre.[1] In 1956 Fritz Eichenberg became the Center's director, serving until 1972 .[2] (Sources disagree on whether Lowengrund or Eichenberg should be considered the founder of the Pratt Graphic Art Center, with most claiming Eichenberg was the founder.[1][2][3][4][5]) The Center was associated with the Pratt Institute, providing a space specifically for printmaking. It was used by both students and established artists including Jim Dine, Robert Motherwell, Barnett Newman, and Claes Oldenburg.[6][7] Painter and printmaker Martin Barooshian served as Supervisor for the Center's Graphics Workshop for Professionals from 1960-1970, hired by Eichenberg at the behest of Stanley Hayter.[8] The Workshop was a primary vehicle for the participation of established artists in the Center. The Center also published a journal, the Artist's Proof edited by Eichenberg and Andrew Stasik, and had an exhibition space.[7] The Pratt Graphic Art Center closed in 1986.[9][10]

The National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC has collected prints published by the Pratt Graphic Art Center.[11] Artists represented in this collection include
