Tandem Press is a professional printmaking studio and gallery that hosts internationally renowned artists in its studio, assisting them in the creation of limited edition fine art prints. It stands at the forefront of experimentation and new developments in the field of printmaking. Since 1987, Tandem has upheld its reputation for pushing the boundaries of printmaking, exploring new materials and techniques, and producing highly ambitious print-based contemporary art.
Tandem Press is known for incorporating a variety of media and materials in the printed editions produced in their studio. In addition to traditional printmaking methods such as lithography, intaglio, screen print, and woodcut, Tandem utilizes solar-based and new media technologies in their studio to create ambitious projects that often incorporate collage or sculptural elements. In recent years, they have produced editioned objects that cross the boundary between print and sculpture.
Tandem Press has created prints with over one hundred artists, including Derrick Adams, Richard Bosman, Suzanne Caporael, Robert Cottingham, Lesley Dill, Jim Dine, Jeffrey Gibson, Sam Gilliam, Al Held, Robert Kelly, David Lynch, Judy Pfaff, Alison Saar, Sean Scully, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, Swoon, and Mickalene Thomas. Tandem has achieved national and international recognition for its work with these renowned artists.
