NEW YORK—Nestled away from the perpetual sound and fury of the city, a quiet kind of partying was going on in a historic brownstone in the heart of Greenwich Village. Artists chitchatted, talking shop, while the smooth hand cranking of a printing press went on all evening long.
At the Salmagundi Club’s monthly Monotype Party, everyone makes unique prints by removing ink from a metal or plexiglass plate. It’s an inviting atmosphere attracting young and old, novices and famous artists.
“Monotype means one of a kind. It kind of levels the playing field,” said Robert W. Pillsbury, a painter/printmaker and president of the club.
