"Roberts deals expertly with the deeper meaning of making something meant to be made again. . . . Intellectually rich and provocative."---Murray Whyte, Harvard Magazine "On every page of this book there is an idea with the potential to transform the readers perspective, not only on print, but also on culture more broadly. . . . In a burgeoning field of art-historical studies that take the fine-grained specifics of materiality as their focus, Contact is one of the most exciting contributions to date."---Christina J. Faraday, Apollo "[ Roberts] redeems a process we dismiss too breezily. . . . A chronicle of creativity as well as a redemption of printmaking."---Jeannette Cooperman, Common Reader "An articulate, creative exploration of this unique artistmedium relationship." * Choice * "[ Contact] offers a fresh perspective on printmaking, synthesizing simple maneuvers like reversal and pressure to account for the mediums expansive influence. . . . The book is both conversational and accessible. . . . A must read. . . . Contact introduces a new way of thinking about print."---Ann Shafer, Platemark Podcast "Contact offers one of the most comprehensive studies of modern and contemporary printmaking published to date, while also framing the field as one that is alive, exciting and full of potential."---Britany Salsbury, Burlington Magazine "I have waited 25 years for this book. . . . [ Contact] fills a vital gap in contemporary art historical scholarship and criticism. . . . Roberts close reading of, or into, the materiality of print yields unexpected and illuminating results. Familiar, functional terms are opened up and become revelatory of hitherto unrealized reverberations, connections and, thus, possibilities. . . . [ A] rich and enthralling analysis."---Ruth Pelzer-Montada, Printmaking Today
