Robert Townsend

Renowned Master Printer Robert Townsend 
in Action at the Spirit Awards 

  

"A great printer is someone who understands and promotes your ideas," says H. Peik Larsen of his longtime collaborator Master Printer Robert Townsend. "He really understands the kinds of things I am after." Townsend has also printed artwork for Jim Dine, Micheal Mazur, Aaron Fink, Joan Snyder and Robert Motherwell. 

At the Spirit Awards, Townsend will use one of Larsen's images to demonstrate the printing process, and he will discuss how the relationship between an artist and a master printer can enhance an artist's work. Examples of Townsend and Larsen's work will be on display, including Larsen's series of artist books, Impressions.
