The breadth, variety, and creativity of the works he published is evidence of his success in making old master printmaking relevant to artists today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePublished in conjunction with an exhibition that draws from his catalogue of more than 70 projects, \u003cem\u003eNew Ground\u003c\/em\u003e presents select works by a diverse range of artists. The richly illustrated catalogue features an essay by curator Esther Adler, interviews with thirteen of the artists Samuel worked with, and an illustrated list of the projects published by Edition Jacob Samuel in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47455662964972,"sku":"9781633451551","price":110.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/81JdQoQA14L._SL1500.jpg?v=1774790403","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/new-ground-jacob-samuel-and-contemporary-etching-9781633451551","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
