The Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum recently presented Ghost: Elizabeth Peyton, a critical survey of Elizabeth Peyton’s work as a printmaker. A celebrated American painter, Peyton, as a printmaker, revives the tradition of the “painterly print.” Her subjects include friends and heroes, as well as other visual artists. The exhibit, featuring more than four dozen works, was organized by Sabine Eckmann, PhD, the museum’s William T. Kemper Director and Chief Curator, and presented in conjunction with the university’s hosting of the 2011 SGC International printmaking conference.
