Typographic Jazz: The Monoprints of Jack Stauffacher — Exhibition Admission | Letterform Archive

Details

Experience the rarely seen work of iconic Bay Area printer, Jack Stauffacher, at the upcoming exhibition "Typographic Jazz: The Monoprints of Jack Stauffacher". Hosted by Letterform Archive in San Francisco, this exhibition delves into Stauffacher's playful and improvisational process, showcasing over 100 prints, sketches, iterative proofs, and other explorations of his creative journey. Delve into Stauffacher's mind as you observe his use of abstraction, color, form, rotation, overprinting, ink manipulation, and transparency through his unfinished works. This exhibition is a unique opportunity to witness the artist's private experiments, as Letterform Archive unveils a collection that has yet to be shown to the public. Curated by Rob Saunders, the exhibition highlights Stauffacher's reimagining of type as abstract form, using a mismatched set of 19th-century wood block letters. Each monoprint is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, created through Stauffacher's experiments with inking and layering. Don't miss the chance to explore the iconic work of Jack Stauffacher and immerse yourself in the world of typographic jazz. Admission to the exhibition is priced at $0 - $10, and the event will take place on January 28, 2024, at the Letterform Archive in San Francisco, CA.
