Ron Gordon has been called a keeper of the great tradition of American book design and a link to its past. He learned his craft from the most esteemed printers of the 20th century. In 1966 Ron established his own press, The Oliphant Press, in New York City.

He produced books by letterpress for some of the most important cultural institutions in the city (the Metropolitan Museum, the Frick Collection, and the New York Public Library) as well as for a number of bookshops and independent publishers. His published authors include Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Samuel Beckett, John Updike, Ray Bradbury, and Saul Bellow.

This JCBA Zoom gallery talk is presented as part of JCBA's current exhibition, Our Human Frame: 100 Years of Baskin. The exhibition was researched, curated, and designed by Daniel Zaccardi, who will join Ron Gordon and JCBA Director John Cutrone on JCBA Zoom for this program.
