Storywork: Prints of Marie Watt 

February 2022–October 2024 | Traveling exhibition

Organized by William Morrow, Director of Exhibitions, Schnitzer Family Foundation; Derrick Cartwright, Director; and John Murphy, Fellow, University Galleries, University of San Diego

Storywork: The Prints of Marie Watt is the artist’s first traveling retrospective and the first to reflect on the role of printmaking in her ambitious interdisciplinary work. This nationally traveling exhibition originated at the University of San Diego, University Galleries, and will travel to five other museums through 2024. The exhibition considers Watt’s printmaking both as a process and a philosophy—a medium that has had a nuanced and enduring impact on her career since 1996. Featuring over 60 works, it presents Watt’s etchings, lithographs, and woodcuts alongside a selection of her monumentally scaled sculptures and textile works.

A 190-pg. exhibition catalogue was published in conjunction with this exhibition: Storywork: The Prints of Marie Watt
