Book artist Ruth Lingen will present a lecture in conjunction with the SP/N Gallery exhibition BOOK ART. Ruth Lingen lives and works in New York City, where she has established a distinguished thirty-year career as a master printer and book artist. She has collaborated with over 80 celebrated artists and writers. She attended graduate school at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, specializing in letterpress, book arts and relief printing. After moving to New York, she worked at Pace Editions for over 20 years, making prints and handmade paper for contemporary artists. In 2008 she became the founding director of Pace Paper until 2018, when she founded Line Press Limited, a workshop in Brooklyn devoted to artist books and small-scale print editions. She has received lifetime achievement awards in both papermaking and the book arts. Her work can be found in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Getty, the Brooklyn Museum, the Walker Museum, as well as over 35 libraries, including the New York Public library and the Harvard University Library.
