      October 10, 1972: 18TH NATIONAL PRINT EXHIBITION
      NOVEMBER 22 - FEBRUARY 4

      The eighteenth in the series of National Print Exhibitions presented biennially by The Brooklyn Museum follows the tradition of the past by bringing together work by talented beginning professionals with that of their already accomplished colleagues.

      Included in the 120 prints in this exhibition are works by such artists as Frank Stella; Jasper Johns; Wayne Thiebaud; Nathan Oliveira; Joe Goode; and Edward Ruscha. Etchings, monotypes, lithographs, and examples of experimental mixed media are among the varieties of technique on exhibition.

      The 18TH NATIONAL PRINT EXHIBITION will be held in the Robert E. Blum Gallery on the first floor from November 22,1972 to February 4, 1973. For the first time, it will then travel to the Palace of the Legion of Honor Museum, in San Francisco, California.

      FOREIGNERS IN JAPAN
      December 6 - January 28

      An exhibition of wood block prints by Japanese artists in Yokohama after the opening of the port to foreign trade (1860-1863), FOREIGNERS IN JAPAN will open at The Brooklyn Museum on December 6. It will consist of approximately 100 prints, assembled by the Philadelphia Museum of Art where the exhibition originated last spring.

      The exhibition offers a fascinating record of the exotic "foreigner" and their customs as portrayed by the Japanese artists of the period whose work displays the lively curiousity with which they viewed the visiting “barbarians.”

      "Hi, I am trying to find the name of the artist who took and is in the photograph that follows- http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/exhibitions/664/Global_Feminisms_Remix/image/216/Global_Feminisms_Remix._%7C08032007_-_03032008%7C._Installation_view. I believe the artist takes pictures of herself dressed as a man but then exposes her femaleness, as in the photo of her dressed as an Ascetic Jew exposing her breast. Can you help me find her information? Thanks in advance- Aimee Record"
