In s3e35, Platemark host Ann Shafer talks with Larissa Goldston, director and owner of Universal Limited Art Editions, usually referred to by its acronym ULAE. We talk about ULAE’s founder Tatyana Grosman, and her harrowing escape from first Siberia following the assassination of Czar Nicholas, and then from the Nazis in France.
Larissa talks about the early days of ULAE, growing up there, how they find artists to work with, and all her favorite print projects. Larissa‘s father, Bill Goldston, was its printer and director for many years. With his retirement, Larissa has taken the reigns. It’s hard work, but the combination of the creative process and collaborative printmaking is where the magic happens.
