Museum Adds
EPI Works
The Mount Holyoke College Art Museum has added artwork created at Lafayette’s Experimental Printmaking Institute to its permanent holdings and established the Tague Collection of African American Fine Art Prints.
The collection includes
17 prints by Benny Andrews, Elizabeth Catlett, Melvin Edwards, Emma Amos, Sam Gilliam, Faith Ringgold, William T. Williams, and Curlee Raven Holton, professor and head of
art and founding director of
EPI. It is named for Janet Tague P’00, longtime supporter of
EPI and a former member of Mount Holyoke College’s
Board of Trustees.
Additional works will be
added to the collection on an ongoing basis.
Works created at EPI are also
in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art,
Yale University Art Gallery, Allentown Art Museum, New Jersey State Museum, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and
High Museum, Atlanta,
among others.
