Only on Saturday features Jack Stauffacher's experimental typographic prints, which reveal his studies in composition and craft. After inheriting a box of old and mismatched wood type in 1966, Stauffacher began playing with the weathered letterforms "only on Saturday" as a break from his work week. These arrangements--some patterned with letters in different sizes and typefaces, some layered with multiple presses of a single letter, others awash insolvent--morphed from exploratory sessions in his off hours to formal studies of what was possible between the positive and negative spaces on a page. Only on Saturday examines five limited-edition portfolios of these prints, as well as his unbound individual and series prints. A selection of images from each project is paired with an essay detailing the process behind the work and tracing his influences--from his filmmaker brother Frank to modernist designer Laszlo Moholy-Nagy. In addition, many of Stauffacher's long-time collectors and collaborators contribute first-person stories about his process and legacy
