In 2009, the workshop donated one hundred prints by eighty-nine artists to the Museum in memory of the Museum's late director Anne d'Harnoncourt. Full Spectrum celebrates this generous gift as well as the workshop's accomplishments over its distinguished forty-year history. The workshop's donation is illustrated in its entirety in an accompanying catalogue, which features an essay by Philadelphia native and noted contemporary print scholar Ruth Fine, former Curator of Special Projects in Modern Art at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
