Book excerpt: Printmaking has changed radically in the past two decades- the fine art print now encompasses everything from billboards and badges to clothes, cakes and carrier bags. In a series of case studies dealing with individual artists, new media and techniques, Prints Now explores these new directions and expanded definitions. Illustrated with one hundred wide-ranging examples, it is not only an invaluable resource for collectors and students of the new, but a revelation about the possibilities and potential of this infinitely flexible, infinitely accessible art form. It is the first general survey of contemporary printmaking to be published for ten years.
