BRUNSWICK —The first retrospective of prints by the contemporary American artist Richard Tuttle (born 1941) will open this June at the Bowdoin College Museum of Art. On view at the BCMA from June 28 through October 19, 2014, Richard Tuttle: A Print Retrospective will highlight the experimental nature of Tuttle’s print practice and will mark the first time that many of these prints have been exhibited by a museum.

Presenting a selection of more than 100 prints from the 1970s to today, created by Tuttle in collaboration with some of the country’s premier print studios, the exhibition will demonstrate the pivotal role of printmaking in Tuttle’s artistic practice, as an incubator of new ideas and a tool for collaboration and communication.

Fully accessible, the Bowdoin College Museum of Art is open to the public free of charge from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesday through Saturday; 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Thursday, and from noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday during the Tuttle exhibition.
