Hamilton Press

Hamilton Press came into being in 1990, as a result of a collaboration between Tamarind Master Printer Ed Hamilton and Los Angeles artist Ed Ruscha. The press specializes in the production of hand printed lithographs, with publications usually limited to editions of about twenty. It functions as a publisher and maker of fine art lithographs.

Hamilton Press came into being in 1990, as a result of a collaboration between Tamarind Master Printer Ed Hamilton, and Los Angeles Artist and avid printmaker Ed Ruscha. The two had worked together on about 40 prints. The Press opened its doors in a small space on Washington Blvd (soon to become Abbot Kinney Blvd) in Venice, California. Hamilton Press still occupies the same space it did in 1990; however, in 2000, with a rich abundance of prints, Pat Squires Hamilton came to organize, archive and sell the lithographs. In 2001 an adjoining space became available and a gallery was added to showcase the art of the lithograph. The Press has added lithographer Tyler Ferreira and an assistant printer, Jeff Cairns to the workforce, but still functions as a publisher and maker of fine art lithographs.
