Andrea Wunderlich & Louise Grunewald on: The Calligraphic Autobahn – Journey to a Friendship
...and what Rudolf Koch has to do with it.
November 13, 2022
11:00 am PST
This is a free, on-line lecture via Zoom.
The lecture is limited to 500 participants.
Louise Grunewald and Andrea Wunderlich met for the first time at the International Calligraphy Conference in Minnesota in 2009. Since then an international friendship has developed. A German Autobahn plays an important role, but also their calligraphic background and a shared interest in the work of Rudolf Koch.
Louise Grunewald is a lettering artist, printmaker, painter, and book artist. She lives in Durango, Colorado USA where she maintains her studio, Western Hands. Louise’s studio work is often taken from her sketchbook impressions of time spent outdoors and travels to new environments. She is fascinated with letterforms as design elements. In recent years Louise has been creating original and limited-edition hand-lettered books incorporating her prints, paintings, and text. Her work can be seen in numerous private and public collections in the United States and internationally. Collections include the New Mexico History Museum, University of Arizona Special Collections, San Francisco Public Library Special Collections, and the Klingspor Museum of Book and Letter Arts, Offenbach, Germany.
