Cynthia Back

Her work is included in numerous private and corporate collections, including The Library of Congress, the New York Public Library, the Newark Public Library, Newark, New Jersey, the Free Library of Philadelphia, The New-York Historical Society, Pfizer, Inc., The Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, NYC, Duke University, and Oberlin College-Special Collections.

The spring edition of CELEBRATING PRINT magazine (founded and edited
by Katerina Kyselica) is centered around an essay on printmaking as a phenomenon of thinking, placing matrix and its potential image at the beginning of all things. Through the works of three seasoned artists, the edition explores the possibilities that printmaking as a versatile and open art medium offers in an artist's search for visual forms. The featured project demonstrates how adapting a traditional printmaking technique, lithography, may lead to a playful and expressive method of printing sought after in contemporary art practice. Available in print and digital.
