Wise Collection: Selected Japanese Prints

Two Rivers Printmaking Studio in White River Junction typically shows the works of its members. Currently, it presents an unusual exhibition that also happens to be a fundraiser for the studio: selections from the Wise Collection. Joanne Wise lived in Japan for four years in the late ’70s, where she began collecting works in contemporary printing. After relocating to Houston, she cofounded the Texas Print Alliance. Wise moved to the Upper Valley in 1993 and continued to represent Japanese and American artists until 2005. The group of prints she donated to the studio can be seen at tworiversprintmaking.org. Mostly abstract works by five Japanese artists and one Texan, they are revelatory in style and technique.
