As recently as 2011, women printmakers were scarcely represented in the permanent collection of prints at USD. Since then, spurred by the creation of University Galleries as a department, addressing this gap has been a collecting priority. There are now hundreds of prints by women artists for students and faculty to study. The majority of those recently-acquired works were produced in the 20th and 21st centuries. This should not be mistaken to suggest that women were only active as printmakers in recent years, however. Since the 16th century, women have earned important reputations as engravers and etchers and, later on, as lithographers. We are trying to better represent printmaking by women from the Renaissance forward. Some initial results in this effort can be seen here. The earliest print in this group is a self-portrait, attributed to no less an imposing historical figure than Marie de Medici. The most recent print is by Beatrice Wood, born in the final years of the 19th century. Like Marie de Medici, Wood was another impactful personality: her relationship to Dadaism and her long career as an avant-garde ceramicist ensure her a lasting place in art history. We look forward to continuing to build strengths in this area.
