| Abstract |
The Montreal Print Collectors Society was formed in 1983, when A. MacKenzie Brockman and Joe King, print enthusiasts and collectors, met through a shared interest in the etchings of the Canadian artist Frank Armington (1876-1941). Brockman and King were subsequently joined by Jan Johnson, who had recently returned from London to teach a class on prints in Montreal. The three regularly met as a study group at King's home, and in late 1983, after attracting several other collectors, formed the Montreal Print Collectors Society, with a mandate to "foster the collection, preservation, study and exhibition of original prints." During the 1990s, the society organized five Montreal Print Fairs, as well as several exhibitions featuring prints owned by group members. The society also held an annual Members' Show from 1993 to 1995, culminating in an exhibition, with a catalogue, at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in 1995. In 1997 they organized a show of forty-nine prints by thirty-two member artists at the Krasdale Galleries, New York, entitled Contemporary Prints of Members/Artists.
