Pace Prints Master Printer Bill Hall will exhibit the print collection he shares with his wife Sara at the Dinah Washington Cultural Arts Center at the University of Alabama, Hall's alma mater. The exhibit will be on view April 10 - June 10, 2015
The Hall family placed their collection of over 475 prints in the care of the University’s Sarah Moody Gallery of Art in 2014, a collection that showcases Hall's 25-year career with Pace Editions, Inc. He has worked with many internationally acclaimed artists including Jennifer Bartlett, Donald Baechler, Chuck Close, Tara Donovan, Helen Frankenthaler, Zhang Huan, Kiki Smith, James Turrell and many more.
On the generous donation, Hall reflects, "The collection represents my career as a printer,” William Hall said. “When Sara and I were thinking about what we wanted to do with it, we thought it should exist as a body of work and not be broken up. As a collection at The University of Alabama, it’s available as a resource. It can be studied and exhibited as a reflection of a major print publisher in New York during a certain time period.”
