SMITH ANDERSEN EDITIONS is a small, fine arts press in Palo Alto, California located at 440 Pepper Ave. It was founded to encourage experimentation with the monoprint and monotype. While invited artists have stressed the “unique” impression, ideas derived from monoprints have spawned editions published by SAE.

SAE doesn't do custom work. Artists whose inclinations and imagery seem suited to monotypes and derivative processes are invited to spend time at 440 Pepper Ave.

To date, SAE has published many contemporary projects. A listing is available at the press, SAE hopes to encourage young artists as well as established painters and sculptors to work on unique prints - prints which employ the processes of painting, drawing and printmaking to achieve fine works of art of distinguished vision.

In fulfilling it’s artistic goals, SAE can provide the collector of contemporary art with ambitious prints of quality at reasonable prices. Because of our experimental approach, the collector is often provided with a rich harvest of variants for critical consideration and purchase. The opportunity to view and select from a large body of work at the press can be both exciting and challanging. Thus, SAE invites your inquiries and welcomes your visit.

Hours are Wed-Sat 10am-2pm or by appointment.
