Deep Cuts: Block Printing Across Cultures

(Los Angeles, CA—October 28, 2025) The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) presents Deep Cuts: Block Printing Across Cultures. Drawing primarily from LACMA’s permanent collection, the exhibition explores the repeated revival, reinvention, and refinement of block printing—the world’s oldest and most versatile method of making multiple images. Where traditional surveys have dissected the history of printing by geography, chronology, and typology, Deep Cuts bridges these silos to reveal more expansive, interconnected stories.

Deep Cuts is curated by Erin Maynes, Associate Curator of Prints & Drawings at LACMA.
