Donald Farnsworth is one of the most popular and richest Artist who was born on June 18, 1952 in Palo Alto, California, United States.
After graduating from the San Francisco Art Institute, Farnsworth worked as a printer for Walter Maibaum at Editions Press in San Francisco in the mid to late 1970s. He soon found that there was a growing demand for handmade paper from artists: in the late 1970s, he created paper for editions including several by John Cage at Crown Point Press. Some of these prints, as well as work by Farnsworth himself, are included in the collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. During this period Farnsworth also made handmade paper for artists including Claes Oldenberg, Nathan Oliveira, and Brice Marden; made paper pulp for sculptural casting by Manuel Neri and Bella Feldman; and worked on art production with Harold Paris and Karel Appel. Farnsworth and colleague Bob Serpa also taught inexpensive classes in forming and couching handmade paper at their Oakland, California studio.
In the early 1970s, Farnsworth began making paper on his own after purchasing a used laboratory Hollander beater. He became interested in making paper while working at Daedalus Restoration restoring works of art on paper: “I was terribly interested by what paper was all about […] Rag paper, as opposed to wood pulp paper, archival matting and framing… I started out cutting archival mats and pretty soon I was helping out in the bleaching and de-acidification, and before I knew it I was a partner there.”
