Flatbed Press is a publishing workshop that collaborates with artists to produce limited editions of original etchings, lithographs, woodcuts, and monoprints. Flatbed Press also does collaborative printing for other publishers, dealers, artists, and institutions. Founded in 1989 by Katherine Bimberry and Mark L. Smith, Flatbed Press is part of a creative community located in a large converted warehouse space called Flatbed World Headquarters near the University of Texas at Austin campus. The building also houses Flatbed Gallery, a private art gallery that specializes in original prints, in addition to other visual arts and performing arts organizations.

Holmes’ print showing and sale will take place alongside American Falls, an exhibition at Untitled [ArtSpace] featuring a film installation by Philip Solomon and prints from the late Robert Rauschenberg. Rauschenberg’s prints are from the Soviet/American Array series he produced at Universal Limited Art Editions (ULAE), a fine art publisher in New York. This exhibition, combined with Holmes’ presentation, showcases the diversity of printmaking and how it has become an integral aspect of contemporary art. Both Holmes’ print viewing and American Falls are free and open to the public.
