THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE collagraph began at the University Uni-versity of Washington School of Art in the fall of 1956. Alps, his students throughout the United States and Canada, and other printmakers have continued to develop the medium and have discovered dis-covered a rich and seemingly infinite series of possibilities available avail-able to the printmaker. The collagraph made its first public appearance in an exhibition exhibi-tion in 1956. Since that time, it has become a major medium for artists in many other countries, and they have been exhibited and collected by major museums and art collectors throughout the world. According to the Seattle Times, Sunday, Dec. 22, "Glen Alps is a talented, dedicated, sincere artist, unconcerned with sellers . . . or personal prestige. There are too few like him in the jungle of art." |
