Between 1972 and 1976, Kathy Caraccio – a New Yorker born and raised in the Bronx, fresh out of art school – joined the newly incorporated Printmaking Workshop as an assistant and aspiring master printer. In what she describes as her “graduate school”, Kathy recounts her years at the PMW Inc. and her collaboration with Bob Blackburn as a defining moment in her career. Not only did she become a master printer with the abundant collaborative opportunities in the studio, the cultural and artistic exchanges between artists, but the witnessing of Bob as a collector led Kathy to begin an archive of printer's proofs and trades. Kathy and Bob remained friends until the end of his life. Today, Kathy’s collection surpasses five thousand pieces and includes 90 works collected during the four years she worked with Blackburn at the PMW Inc. 
 
The show sheds a light on the incredibly diverse and international community and its richly varied graphic output, which the PMW Inc. is known for, and also highlights how stories, motives, and techniques travel when artists share a space.
