In the second part of their conversation, Ann Shafer and  printer/publisher Phil Sanders continue talking about the state of the printmaking ecosystem. 


 


They talk about why supporting artists is important even if you don’t like what they are doing, why that new Julie Mehretu set of etchings costs $250K, the imminent brain drain among our elder printers, and the importance of art and creativity to humanity’s survival.
