Magnolia Editions
Magnolia Editions (aka Magnolia Tapestry Project and Magnolia Press) is a fine art studio in Oakland, California.〔("Tapestry of Imagination." ) Hennig, Wanda. Oakland Magazine. Retrieved 2009-04-13.〕 Founded in 1981, Magnolia Editions publishes fine art projects, including unique and editioned works on paper, artist books, and public art. The studio includes facilities for etching/intaglio printing as well as digital printing onto substrates such as gessoed panel, glass, leather, plexiglas, aluminum, or raw linen. Several artists have worked at Magnolia to realize major commissions for the San Francisco International Airport and the Oakland International Airport.〔(San Francisco Airport Commission Notes. ) March 18, 2008. Retrieved 2009-5-3.〕 Other recent projects have incorporated a mix of traditional and digital techniques, such as a digital photogravure method in which a 'resist' is digitally printed on an etching plate, developed by Magnolia Editions director Donald Farnsworth,〔("Direct to Plate Photogravure: Catching Up With the Past." ) Stone, Nick. Retrieved 2009-04-13.〕 and projects which merge painting and printmaking by printing acrylic color over hand-painted, three-dimensional textures.〔("Trip to Berkeley, Magnolia Editions" ) Dove, Jan. Retrieved 2011-06-28.〕
Primarily a printmaking studio, since the 1990s Magnolia Editions has also gained a reputation for its tapestry editions. A set of proprietary color matching techniques developed by Farnsworth based on his years of printmaking experience are used to digitally direct electronic looms at a mill in Belgium, putting an industrial technology in the service of fine artists.〔("Magnolia Tapestry Project." ) Paglia, Michael. Denver Arts. Retrieved 2009-04-13.〕 Magnolia has published Jacquard tapestry editions by artists such as Chuck Close, Alex Katz, Masami Teraoka, Ed Moses, Leon Golub, Hung Liu, Enrique Chagoya, Bruce Conner, and Nancy Spero, among others. Each tapestry work typically contains 17,800 warp threads and 8 groups of repeating colors.〔("Capital Roundup." ) artnet Magazine. Retrieved on 2009-04-09.〕 Magnolia Editions tapestries have been exhibited in museums and galleries worldwide including the Whitney Museum of American Art and the White Cube Gallery in London.〔("White Cube--Family and Others." ) Retrieved 2009-04-13.〕〔Sheets, Hilarie M.
