SILKSCREENS was remastered to 16-mm film by Anthology Film Archives, in 2015, with funding from The National Film Preservation Foundation and The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.

A mesmerizing piece of choreography and motion, SILKSCREENS follows printmakers at work pulling the edition of Jasper Johns' THE DUTCH WIVES. Featuring exquisite sound by electronic music pioneer, Richard Teitelbaum, SILKSCREENS is an absorbing document of artisans in process and the space they inhabit.” — Anthology program notes
