Black light

Artist and publisher Sheryl Oppenheim American

Not on view

Sheryl Oppenheim is a painter, paper marbler, and maker of graphic books. Black Light is an accordion bound artists’ book with a foil-stamped cover and thirty-six pages of acrylic marbling on black cotton paper. Made early in Oppenheim’s marbling career, the papers are free-form and imaginative in their approach to pattern. Her use of black paper shows how dark paper affects and enlivens the translucent colored paints. Watson Library owns seven of her artists’ books.
