Frederick Mershimer Prints and Multiples

American, b. 1958

Frederick Mershimer received a BFA from Carnegie Mellon University, where he majored in painting and drawing. After moving to New York in 1983, he studied printmaking at the New School, Pratt Graphics Center (1984–87) and Manhattan Graphics Center (1988–92). Mershimer was initially drawn to the mezzotint process because it echoed his approach to drawing. In 2007, Stone and Press published a catalog raisonné of his work, titled Frederick Mershimer Mezzotints 1984–2006. Mershimer’s works are included in the collections of the Brooklyn Museum, the Cleveland Museum, the Corcoran Museum, the Fogg Art Museum, Georgetown University, Library of Congress, the McNay Art Museum, New Orleans Museum of Art, National Museum of American Art and the Whitney Museum.
