Ane Thon Knutsen (1984) is a Norwegian artist and designer working as a letterpress printer in the expanded field. Knutsen works multidisciplinary at the intersection between graphic design, art, research and dissemination. She exhibits, presents and teaches internationally, and her works often take form as installations and artist books. Knutsen has a special interest in self-taught women on the distaff side of print history. In 2019 Knutsen defended her PhD on Virginia Woolf's work as a typesetter and self-publisher and how this had an underestimated impact on Woolf’s practice as a writer. She owns and works from her private letterpress studio in Oslo. Knutsen is an associate professor in graphic design at the Oslo Academy of the Arts where she is working on the collaborative artistic research project Formskifter, looking into Nancy Cunard's practice as a letterpress printer and publisher.
