The book projects are all limited edition and range from artist monographs to historical surveys to special editions that include original prints.
History
editSince 1993, Peter Blum Edition has had gallery space (in Soho and Chelsea) in New York City.[1][3]
The Peter Blum Edition Archive has been exhibited twice in museums. The first museum exhibition was titled Singular Multiples: The Peter Blum Edition Archive, 1980-1994 in 2006 at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston located in Houston, Texas. It has been noted as the largest exhibition in North America devoted entirely to printmaking.[4] On the occasion of this exhibition a book of the same title was published by the museum.[5]
Soon after the exhibition in Houston, a selection of the edition archive was exhibited overseas at the Aargauer Kunsthaus in Aarau, Switzerland in 2007. The exhibition was titled Scenes and Sequences: Peter Blum Edition, New York and was also accompanied by a book of the same title published by the Aargauer Kunsthaus.[6][7]
