Unique and Multiple: Selections from Smith Andersen Editions

The de Saisset Museum celebrates the life and work of Paula Z. Kirkeby, Owner of Smith Andersen Editions, Palo Alto, California with an exhibition of works from the Smith Andersen Editions Archive housed in the de Saisset’s permanent collection.

Since 1984 the de Saisset Museum has housed the archive for Smith Andersen Editions, a nationally recognized fine art press. Under Paula Kirkeby's vision and leadership, Smith Andersen Editions distinguished itself as one of the pre-eminent fine art presses in the United States. Known for its unwavering commitment to serving artists, Smith Andersen Editions focused on monotype and monoprint—two methods of printmaking that result in limited edition impressions.
