David Senior discusses a set of publishing projects by artists and designers that have shaped the recent history of independent art publishing in the United States. Through his work at MoMA and now SFMOMA, as well as his partnership with Printed Matter and the New York Art Book Fair, Senior focuses on his last ten years of collecting and collaborating with publishers in the field and some themes that have emerged during this time. Despite a media environment that has changed in considerably over the last decade, Senior describes the various ways that print publishing still serves as a productive platform for artists and designers to communicate new work and create art in print.
