Artists
in the Current Registry...
Hand Papermaking's artist registry
serves the papermaking community as a means for artists to
have their work available for critical review; for
archivists and historians to see artworks from any
particular time period; and for scholars, publicists,
curators, and others to view current handmade paper art.
All slides are now housed in Atlanta at the
Robert C.
Williams Paper Museum. Owing to the
prominence of its internationally known collection, the
Museum is a prime destination for those interested in
handmade paper as an art form. Hand
Papermaking's registry archives are housed in
Atlanta as well. We greatly appreciate the support of
Columbia College Chicago Center for Book and Paper Arts, and
the Minnesota Center for Book Arts, our registry's previous
hosts.
Two juried sets of slides were excerpted from Hand Papermaking's registry
in the early 1990's and
promoted as representing the finest in late 20th-century
handmade paper artwork. Another juried set was recently compiled.
The jurors were Teri Williams, curator at Robert C. Williams'
Paper Museum; Karen Stahlecker,
award-winning and widely exhibited paper artist; and Mina
Takahashi, Executive Director of Programs at Dieu Donné
Papermill in New York (and now Hand Papermaking
editor). They chose a special subset of
images from the registry, highlighting the work of 19 of the
117 artists juried. These images will be promoted in
our publications, featured on our website, and are now available on
a CD-ROM or as duplicate sets for sale (more info here).
