International Print Center New York

This event has ended.

New Prints 2009/Summer - Portraits is the thirty-second presentation of IPCNY’s New Prints Program, a series of juried exhibitions organized by IPCNY four times each year, featuring prints made within the past twelve months by artists at all stages of their careers. The exhibition represents a cross-section of some of the most exceptional printmaking today while continuing IPCNY’s commitment to provide an ongoing exhibition venue for contemporary prints and a major source of information about artists working in the medium.

Highlights of New Prints 2009/Summer - Portraits include: Claudio Bravo’s Cráneo de elefante, a lithograph of a giant elephant skull resting on a table; Lauren Drescher’s Still Life, a chine collé etching of a child’s momento-mori portrait printed on antique ledger paper; Daniel Heyman’s I Arrived at Nasour and I Stopped and I Left Yarmulk Hospital for Care, portraits of two men that incorporate narrative texts of how war touched and altered their lives; Jon Kessler’s Suicide Bomber #1 and Suicide Bomber #2, scarily fragmented faces composed of pigment, paper pulp, and digital printmaking on handmade paper; and ArdAn Özmenoglu’s Ottomans, an installation of many 3x3 inch screenprints of emperors on Post-it® notes.
