Echo Press Printer's Proofs: The Ann and David Keister Gift
January 10 - 28, 2005 - David Keister was the Master Printer at Echo Press in Bloomington, Indiana from 1980 to 1995. By tradition, the Master Printer receives a printer's proof of each edition. In time Ann and David Keister, both of whom are GVSU Art and Design Faculty, have amassed more than 200 prints which they have donated selectively in small groups to the Grand Valley State University's Print and Drawing Cabinet. This exhibition marked the first showing of this very important and generous gift.
