Contemporary Print Collections

Open for Study

Surveys were sent to public collections expected to include contemporary prints in all 50 states in the US and almost every province in Canada. Only those who responded are included in this list. Each respondent confirmed that the collection includes original prints and/or artists' books dating from the 1960s to the present.

Most of these museums and universities have exhibition spaces that are open to the public, with changing shows of selected works from the institution's collections, although they do not necessarily present regular shows of prints or other works on paper. Appointment requirements and additional information about accessibility refers to opportunities to study works when they are not on exhibition. Unless otherwise noted, the works are available to the general public for study when not on exhibition. However, even if specific instructions for an appointment are not given, it is advised that you write or call for an appointment at least two weeks in advance of your visit. Although the information was gathered directly from each institution, policies do change, so confirm that the collection can accommodate you.

Photography, if allowed at all, almost always requires prior written permission.

Each entry includes a chart of the approximate number of contemporary prints, and/or artists' books.
