About Universal Limited Art Editions
ULAE is celebrated for its nearly seventy years of steadfast dedication to supporting the work of contemporary artists and sustaining the tradition of fine art printmaking in the United States. It was founded in 1957 in a small cottage on Long Island by Tatyana Grosman (1904-1982) as a printmaking workshop dedicated to creating fine art lithography. She established a guiding ethos centered entirely on the artist’s vision by offering exclusive and nearly limitless access to the lithography press. ULAE soon gained recognition for its collaboration with young artists of the sixties, including the luminaries Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg, and led the way for a revival in the medium in the United States.
Bill Goldston assumed the position of Director in the early 1980s and followed Grosman’s precedent by inviting younger generations of artists. He built a larger, state-of-the-art printmaking facility staffed by several highly skilled master printers to ensure ULAE could meet their ambitions. To this day, under the directorship of Bill’s daughter Larissa Goldston, ULAE continues to collaborate with the most prominent and innovative artists of our times in lithography, intaglio, woodcut and digital processes.
The Museum of Modern Art collects all of their editions, from its first to the most recent. There have been several major exhibitions of work produced at ULAE, including a commemoration of its first twenty-five years at the Art Institute of Chicago, 1990, and a celebration of its fortieth anniversary at the Corcoran Art Gallery, Washington, DC, 1997.

printPHILLY! 2025 Lecture: The Print Center and the Continuous Contemporary

Since our founding in 1915, The Print Center has been a medium-specific venue dedicated to printmaking and photography as fine arts. In many ways, our core programming has persisted. Exhibitions reflect the concerns of their times and the gallery store cultivates a buying public to support working artists. How, then, can these two platforms be understood to have defined over one hundred years of modern and contemporary graphics?

Presented in-person and on Zoom
Join The Print Center and Steven CW Taylor to hear the artist and gallerist discuss his practice, his beautiful wood-bound artist book, his Germantown gallery space and the overarching philosophy of Ubuntu that guides his work.
Taylor moves between photography, printmaking and material exploration. His photographs reflect his lived experience shaped by movement, observation and choice. In 2021, he founded Ubuntu Fine Art, a gallery grounded in the principle of Ubuntu – which means “I am an amalgamation of the people I’ve met along the way.” It operates as both a fine art space and a neighborhood anchor. Ubuntu is the thread that connects every image, conversation, and encounter that happens within it. Ubuntu Fine Art is a physical expression of Taylor’s lived philosophy – one that values presence, curiosity and connection.

Conversation + Book Launch with Tiffany E. Barber + Dejay Duckett
2025-09-19 18:00 - 19:00 | The Print Center, 1614 Latimer Street, Philadelphia, PA, 19103, United States
Presented in-person and on Zoom
Join us to celebrate Tiffany E. Barber’s new publication, Undesirability and Her Sisters: Black Women’s Visual Work and the Ethics of Representation, published by New York University Press. Barber will be in conversation with Dejay Duckett, Vice President of Curatorial Services at the African American Museum in Philadelphia. This event is free and open to the public.
In the wake of contemporary art’s post-Black turn and the mainstreaming of intersectionality, Undesirability and Her Sisters charts a new genealogy of Black women’s art that exposes the unfinished project of racial and gender empowerment in the twenty-first century. Tiffany Barber argues that Black women’s social positions at the intersection of race, gender, sexuality and class are inherently queer, thus spurring unexpected aesthetic strategies that throw into high relief the ethical terrain of what it means to be Black and a woman now.
