Fred Hagstrom publishes Artist’s Books

26 July 2024

Fred Hagstrom, Rae Schupack Nathan Professor of Art, emeritus, completed three artist’s books on the topic of the nuclear tests that took place in the southwestern United States. In the series, Testing, the first book is about veterans who were exposed to radiation, the second about “Downwinders” (civilians exposed to radiation, often leading to cancers), and the third about the Navajo uranium miners. Hagstrom also donated copies of all three to the Navajo Nation Museum. The series has been collected by Bryn Mawr College and DePaul University, as well as Carleton.
