In Platemark s3e41, host Ann Shafer talks with Susan Tallman, an art historian and essayist who co-founded the journal Art in Print and served as its editor for its entire run, 2011–2019. A regular contributor to New York Review of Books and The Atlantic Monthly, she has authored and co-authored many books, most recently No Plan At All: How the Danish Printshop of Niels Borch Jensen Redefined Artists Prints for the Contemporary World, as well as the new catalogue raisonné of prints by Kerry James Marshall. Ann and Susan talk about the word "original" as an unhelpful term to describe fine art prints, last summer's blockbuster Vermeer exhibition at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Gerhard Richter's 2020 exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum in New York, and the state of the state of the print world. In the end you'll understand why Susan loves ambiguity in art.  William Kentridge (South African, born 1955). Triumphs and Laments: Mantegna, 2016–17.
