Wow! I heard about some amazing artists using this space, the USF Graphicstudio, to develop their ideas, to try methods to print their art, and to teach students. Once a year, Graphicstudio does an open house and offers some of the prints to purchase. I really want to be rich to simply buy art! Here is an artist list of just a few of the pieces I saw:
- Louise Bourgeois
- William S. Burroughs
- Leonora Carrington
- Judy Chicago
- Chuck Close
- Alex Katz
- Robert Mapplethorpe
- Robert Rauschenberg
- James Rosenquist
Even better, the professors who run this spot were there hanging out and describing how the work is started and completed. Also, that space to create art has a wonderful layout with a few different methods to print.
Please enjoy my photos of the Graphicstudio’s work area!
