Event description:
Join celebrated artist and printer, Didier Mutel, awardee of the 2016 Prix Liliane Bettencourt pour l’intelligence de la main (for his work R217A), in a wide-ranging discussion with curator Timothy Young. Mutel continues the work of the oldest French printing atelier, originally founded in Paris in 1793, honoring the traditions of the art while bringing new energy and techniques to the form. On view will be many of his works, from early experiments to his most recent productions. Beinecke Library, along with the Haas Arts Library, serves as an archive of Mutel’s work.
