In s3e36 of Platemark, podcast host Ann Shafer speaks with printer/publisher and author Phil Sanders about the state of the ecosystem. Phil has a finger in nearly every pie in that system, so after a Platemark listener wrote in to ask about breaking into the publishing end of things, Ann turned to Phil.
They talk about the history of print publishing after the print boom quieted down in the 1980s, why the prices of prints are in need of revision, and how to read a Joan Mitchell painting, among many other things. Their conversation stretches well past two hours and so Ann split it into two episodes.
