Miscellaneous: Kathan Brown

I was sorry to hear that Kathan Brown died this week. She was 90 years old. Brown was the founder of Crown Point Press, now in San Francisco, which she operated and where she worked for decades as a master printer, notably working with artists such as Richard Diebenkorn and Wayne Thiebaud. When I first visited Crown Point Press last summer, it was she who greeted me. I didn't realize until halfway through my visit that I had been talking with the famed printer herself. I was accepted into one of the Crown Point Press etching workshops this year but had to decline for various reasons. I hope to attend one next year. RIP
