 | Robert Glasgow is an Associate Professor of Art at the University of Iowa, where he teaches lithography, monotype, monoprint in all media, and occasionally, paperworks, intaglio and relief. He received his MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1969 and a BFA from Wittenberg University in 1967. His work has been shown in over 150 individual and group exhibitions and is included in 50 public and corporate collections. Glasgow's interests in printmedia encompass traditional, photomechanical and digital applications and result in both editioned and unique works, with a special focus on a grey area of activity in between - serial monoprinting. His studio practice draws upon the inherent capability of the matrix to produce exactly repeatable, variant, cognate and uniquely inked impressions. Recent works often take the form of sequential polyptics, or "opened books," in which content is derived from a synthesis of subject, process and format.
