Peter S. Briggs: Behind the Scenes lecture (PrintHouston 2014)

The Printing Museum and PrintMatters present Behind the Scenes with Peter S. Briggs. July 17 at 6:30pm.

This lecture is in conjunction with PrintHouston 2014, a summer-long celebration of original prints, the artists who create them, and the people who collect them.

Peter S. Briggs will journey “behind the scenes” and explore the Artist Printmaker Research Collection at the Museum of Texas Tech University in Lubbock. This unparalleled collection of many thousands of original prints, proofs, states, editions, mylars, photographs, drawings, print matrices, archival resources and more focuses on expansive holdings by individual 20th and 21st century artist-printmakers in the western United States.

Peter S. Briggs is the Helen DeVitt Jones Curator of Art at the Museum of Texas Tech University.
