This event has ended.

International Print Center New York presents New Prints 2010/Spring – Selected by Philip Pearlstein. On view from May 18 – June 26, 2010, the show consists of sixty-seven pieces by sixty-seven emerging to established artists, selected from a pool of nearly 2,200 submissions.

New Prints 2010/Spring is the thirty-fourth presentation of the 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 2010/Spring include: Noah Breuer’s B-2 Windmill, a wood, steel, and silkscreen, three dimensional windmill composed of fractured images of war planes; Takuji Hamanaka’s Northern Wall, an softly contoured, intimate, wavering plaid woodblock abstraction; Michael Loderstedt’s Schiff Geschicte , a three-dimensional silkcreen of a boat mounted in a plexiglass box; Soledad Salame’s Atmosphere in Gold I, a solar etching, monoprint, and serigraph abstraction that captures a kind of crepuscular light cast on the ocean; May Stevens’ Into the Night, a lithograph of an open boat crossing a great, blue body of water; and Joel Shapiro’s Boat, Bird, Mother and Child, (a), a lyrical abstract composition of forms that evoke an mysterious sense of sentimentalism.

In addition to the many independent artists included in this show, the presses, publishers and printshops represented include: Cade Tompkins Editions, Center Street Studio, Frans Masareel Centrum, Gemini G.E.L. at Joni Moisant Weyl, Groveland Editions, Mary Ryan Gallery, Sol Print Studios, SOLO Impression, Stewart & Stewart, and VanDeb Editions.

Philip Pearlstein follows Kiki Smith, Richard Tuttle, James Sienna, and Jane Hammond, and Polly Apfelbaum, each of whom have acted as sole juror of an IPCNY Spring New Prints Show, respectively in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009.
