Robert Blanton on “HELLO, PRINT FRIEND” Podcast
Miranda of “Hello, Print Friend” spoke with Robert Blanton, the founder and master printer at Brand X Editions in New York City. For the past forty years Brand X has printed for some of the biggest names in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in American art: from Helen Frankenthaler to Jeff Koons. Known for their experimental approach to screen printing as well as the ability to take on exceptionally large-scale projects, Blanton and the team at Brand X have been pushing both the quality and the technique of the medium for four decades. In this episode we talk about how Blanton built his now famous studio, what it’s like to take on those ambitious projects, and working with all those big names and big personalities.
