"Emerging Images: The Creative Process in Prints" Exhibition
Phillips, de Pury & Company
This event has ended.
Works by sixteen artists will be included in the Exhibition. Each artist will be represented by several variants of the same printed image, or one or several progressive proofs and a final print of the same image.
Wendy Weitman is Curator of the Exhibition. In her words: "One of the more fascinating aspects of printmaking is the flexibility for experimentation that it offers an artist, something unattainable in drawing or painting. Artists from Rembrandt to Johns have explored the intricacies of printed art. Changing ink colors, re-using matrices, and recording the evolution of an image are a few of the unique features of printmaking that artists continue to play with today. These distinctive aspects of the medium remain a vital outlet for contemporary artistic thinking and a source for exciting experimentation and creative inquiry. Watching artists work in this manner provides an intriguing glimpse into the aesthetic process…."
Works selected for the Exhibition date from 1893-2009. Arthur Wesley Dow is represented by two of his nine variations of the woodcut The Dory or Near the Wharf from 1893-95. Two of the five color variations of Joan Miró's Série II from 1947 are included in the Exhibition.
Richard Hamilton's Swingeing London 67, based on an image from the London Daily Mail and interpreted in different mediums by the artist over the course of several years, is represented by four prints including one etching and aquatint and three screenprints with collage. Carroll Dunham's linoleum cut First Green Reduction Print is accompanied by six progressive proofs, all from 1994.
An illustrated brochure with a curatorial essay by Ms. Weitman accompanies the Exhibition.
