Who is Outlaw Printmakers?

The Outlaws of Printmaking, also known as “The Outlaws” and “Outlaw Printmakers” are a collective of printmaking artists that exists internationally. They formed as a show in New York in Big Cat Gallery in 2000. While searching for a name to designate this loose collective, Tony Fitzpatrick, the owner of the Big Cat Press which is associated with the gallery, decided to call it "Outlaw Printmaking" to reflect attitudes of the printmakers involved and their non-academic approach to prints. Sean Star Wars elaborated that the circumstance of it is what really made it happen, since it happened during the Southern Graphic Council Conference was happening at the same time, helped get them all together in the first place ). Many of the artists associated with the movement cite the printmaker/artist Richard Mock as a primary influence. Mock's political and social narrative prints appeared in the New York Times op-ed pages for more than a decade in the 1980s and early 1990s.

Organized by Tom Huck, the traveling exhibition titled “Outlaw Printmaking” started touring the nation in 2003 including works by Sue Coe, Michael Krueger, Peregrine Honig, and Bill Fick. Their work can be found in the collections of the Fogg Art Museum, Cambridge, Massachusetts; The New York Public Library, New York, New York, Zimmerli Art Museum, Rutgers University, Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Museum of Modern Art.
