Silver Gelatin Prints
Popular among black and white photographers, silver gelatin print papers are embedded with light-sensitive silver salts. Photons captured in the silver darken with the developer, creating a negative before a chemical bath turns them into a positive. They were used mainly for nature photography in the late 1800s because negatives taken in the summer could be stored until winter for development without impacting the quality. While silver gelatin prints have fallen out of favor since the rise of color photography, artists like Tarrah Krajnak still use the medium to create highly contrasting and glossy black-and-white prints. Learn more about the process of silver gelatin prints, and find Krajnak’s work in the Heiter Gallery of the Schneider Museum of Art.

Marilynn Karp
Mixed media sculptor Marilynn Karp has been an avid collector of things since childhood. Inspired by rural areas, the New York University professor of art and material culture combines natural occurrences with man-made elements. From birds’ nests with zip ties to the intricacies of a wasp nest, Karp plays with the line between the wildness of humans and the structure of nature. Her colorful, playful, and boundless pieces captured the attention of Andy Warhol, who photographed her in his Polaroid series of artists and celebrities during the 70s and 80s. Find more on Marilynn and her work with the below, and find Warhol’s picture of her in the Entry Gallery of the Schneider Museum of Art.
