Propagating Eden: Uses and Techniques of Nature Printing in Botany and Art
April 3 – July 25, 2010
Wave Hill hosts the expanded version of this exhibition, organized by the International Print Center New York, which explores the ways in which nature prints have been used in botany, numismatics and art, and the technical means by which printmakers have captured faithful impresses.
