This is a shot
made at the Print Fair on October 26, 2017, shortly after I presented the IFPDA Book Award to Antony
Griffiths for The Print Before Photography, his groundbreaking tome that has
hit the town by storm. He probably doesn’t remember this, but I was also the presenter
of his IFPDA Achievement Award in, I think, 2007.

Those are
Keepers of the British Museum with me: From left to right is Stephen Coppel,
Assistant Keeper Modern Prints and Drawings After 1880, ST, Antony Griffths,
former Keeper of Prints and Drawings, and Hugo Chapman, Keeper of Prints and
Drawings. Coppel is the curator of the hugely successful 2008 “American Scene”
show that featured JOSEF ALBERS, PEGGY BACON, DOROTHY DEHNER, HUGO GELLERT,
BLANCHE GRAMBS, STANLEY WILLIAM HAYTER, RIVA HELFOND, CHARLES KELLER, FRANZ
KLINE, LOUIS LOZOWICK, CLAIRE MAHL MOORE, ANNE RYAN, HARRY STERNBERG, GRACE
MARTIN TAYLOR, and of course HUGH MESIBOV. At the time Hugh, one of only very few
living artists in the show, did get to visit to see his color carborundum, Europa,
on view.
