Recently at The Print Center, "Collaborative Histories: Dieu Donné" presented viewers with a dual opportunity: they were treated not only to 25 objects representing 15 individually tantalizing artworks, but also to a rich introduction to the aesthetic diversity and tactile possibilities that handmade paper offers to artists.
