Printmakers have had a long tradition of exchanging or trading their prints with one another. Charles Cohan, professor of art and chair of the printmaking program at the Department of Art and Art History, University of Hawai'i at Manoa, has participated in this tradition of exchange and by doing so, has developed an extensive collection of prints and print-related materials created by contemporary artists from around the world. A selection of these outstanding prints collected between 1993 and 1998 is featured in the exhibition The Commodity of Exchange: Prints from the Charles Cohan Collection at the University of Hawai‘i Art Gallery.
