The Delaware Art Museum is set to unveil a new exhibition titled "Marisol to Warhol: Printmaking and Creative Collaboration," which will be open from March 15, 2025, to September 7, 2025. This exhibition, included with museum admission, will be displayed in the Fusco Gallery.

The showcase highlights notable American artists from the latter half of the 20th century such as Andy Warhol, Marisol Escobar, Jacob Lawrence, Lowell Nesbitt, Luis Cruz Azaceta, and Salvador Dalí. The exhibition emphasizes the creative collaboration of these artists as they explore different media. More than a dozen portfolios and suites from DelArt’s collection are featured.

The curatorial team for "Marisol to Warhol" includes Heather Campbell Coyle (Curator of American Art), Dorothy Fisher (Lynn Herrick Sharp Curatorial Fellow), and Margaret Winslow (Head Curator and Curator of Contemporary Art). They note that “the period from the 1960s through the early 1990s witnessed an expansion of printmaking as artists promoted the accessibility of the medium. With increased availability came a chorus of creative voices showcasing diverse identities, stories, and styles.”

A special loan from Art Bridges complements this exhibition—William T. Williams’s painting “Walter’s Advice” from 1970 will be displayed alongside a newly acquired print portfolio by Williams.

In addition to this main exhibition, DelArt has commissioned three local artists—Oscar Eduardo de Paz, Cony Madariaga, and Alim Smith—to create prints celebrating missions of local organizations such as Kuumba Academy and Latin American Community Center. These works will be shown in various locations including the Museum's Orientation Hallway.

Several related programs accompany the exhibition. Curators Fisher and Winslow will lead gallery talks on specific print portfolios throughout its duration. On April 17th, a print fair at DelArt will celebrate regional printmakers’ artistry. Furthermore, William T. Williams will engage in a keynote discussion with art historian Julie L. McGee during University Night on May 1st.

This event is supported by several organizations including the Henry Luce Foundation and Art Bridges.
