1962-2022
A Celebration
60 Prints for 60 Years

September 15, 2022 - January 13, 2023

 1962-2022: A Celebration: 60 Prints for 60 Years, currently on view in the Crown Point Gallery, celebrates the sixtieth anniversary of Crown Point Press. Over the years, since 1962, the Press has been located in four cities in the San Francisco Bay Area: Berkeley, Richmond, Oakland, and San Francisco. It has published prints by 116 artists and Kathan Brown, the founding director, still comes to work regularly. 60 Prints for 60 Years is a testament to printmaking, to the artists who created the prints, and to the Crown Point staff who make their work possible.
