200 Years of Folly: The Legacy of Goya's Caprichos: Muskegon Museum of Art, Muskegon, MI and Grand Valley State University, Allendale, MI

An exhibition of contemporary prints by nationally celebrated American printmakers was yet another important collaboration between Muskegon Museum of Art and Grand Valley State University.  The MMA showcased a selection of Goya’s dramatic CAPRICHOS prints, which have influenced generations of artists worldwide, and printmakers in particular, since their publication.  Co-Curators Kirsten Strom and Ben Mitchell invited artists to create etchings, silkscreens, woodcuts and lithographs in response to Goya’s famous prints.
