James W. Washington, Jr. (1909-2000) was born in Gloster, Mississippi. As a young man he escaped the Jim Crow South via a Civil Service job, moving through Vicksburg, Little Rock and in 1944, settling in Seattle where he quickly became involved in the local art community as a painter and sculptor.

The Editions | Artist's Books Fair
at Metro Show 2013
Founded in 1998 by Susan Inglett of I.C. Editions and Brooke Alexander Editions, the Editions|Artists Book Fair has grown in size and stature to become the premier showcase for contemporary publishers and dealers, presenting the latest and greatest in prints, multiples and artists books. The Editions|Artists Book Fair is well known for its vibrant energy and innovation, thanks to over sixty exhibitors, presenting hundreds of artists representing New York, Johannesburg, Amsterdam, London, Paris and points in between. The Editions|Artists Book Fair was the first Fair to offer FREE admission, initiated with the intent of introducing a broader public to the medium of prints, multiples, and artists books. Fifteen years later the Fair continues to do just that.PRESS RELEASE

CATALOGUE/PRINT EDITION
Each year an artist is commissioned to make an original artwork for the E|AB Fairs annual, limited-edition print. We are thrilled that DANA SCHUTZ will be creating this years edition. Actively working in the print medium since her graduation from Columbia in 2002, Dana has already made extraordinary contributions and is a great example of the energy that young artists bring to the field. Earlier publications include editions by Barbara Kruger, Marcel Dzama, Richard Tuttle and Fred Tomaselli. Published in an edition of 200 and available only on-site, these prints have become coveted and sought-after collectors items. The print will be priced at $250 at the opening and $350 for as long as they last! The image will also appear on the covers of the E|AB catalogue to be distributed FREE at the Fair.FURTHER INFO
