Show Notes: s3e118 Daniel Lienau
Join us on this episode of Platemark for a captivating journey through more than 55 years in the print world with Daniel Lienau, owner of The Annex Galleries in Santa Rosa, California. From his serendipitous beginnings at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Berkeley to studying under unorthodox educators like Janet Turner, Daniel shares a lifetime of wisdom on print dealing, collection management, and the evolution of the gallery business. Tune in as we discuss his early digital footprint connecting Santa Rosa to a global audience, the cultural significance of print history, and his meticulous work co-authoring the Gustave Baumann catalogue raisonné.
