Tuesday Tea / Albrecht Dürer in the Allen: The Rare and Unique

Albrecht Dürer earned his fame and fortune as a printmaker. A medium of multiples, Dürer could print hundreds of the same image from a single copper plate or woodblock. However, each impression of a print is singular, differing in ways large and small from other impressions of the same image. Students from this fall’s Dürer class taught by Professor Erik Inglis will share their research on the rare or unique aspects of the Allen’s prints. After the talk, join the students in the Ripin Gallery to look at the artworks in person.
