Joe Price
American
(Ferriday, Louisiana, 1935 - 2019)
Joe Price was born February 6, 1935, in Ferriday, Louisiana. He trained at the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles, California and alongside fellow printmaker Nathan Olivera. Early in his career, his works were not accepted for print exhibits because curators and jurors did not believe they could be prints given how realistic they looked. In 1968, Price began teaching at the College of San Mateo in San Mateo, California, retiring in 1994. His specialty was serigraphy, the technical term for silkscreen printing, sometimes using an average of seventy screens for a single piece. Despite his love for the medium, he developed a serious allergy to the fumes produced when making his pieces and, in 1999, was forced to abandon the practice.
