This event has ended.

The show consists of eighty-three prints by seventy-six emerging to established artists, selected from a pool of over 1,900 submissions.

Trenton Doyle Hancock was the sole juror for this exhibition, continuing IPCNY’s tradition of inviting an individual artist to select the Spring or Summer New Prints show. Past artist jurors include Kiki Smith, Richard Tuttle, James Sienna, Jane Hammond, Polly Apfelbaum and Philip Pearlstein. New Prints 2011/Summer - Selected by Trenton Doyle Hancock is the thirty-ninth presentation of IPCNY’s New Prints Program, a series of juried exhibitions organized by IPCNY several times each year, featuring prints made within the past twelve months by artists at all stages of their careers. An illustrated brochure will accompany the exhibition.

Highlights of New Prints 2011/Summer include Rob Swainston’s massive multi-block jig-saw woodcut, "PLEXUS/Machines", spanning fifteen feet and covering an entire gallery wall; Heidi Neilson’s extraterrestrial-themed artist’s book, "Orbital Debris Simulator", viewed with 3D glasses; Michael Miller’s linoleum cut diptych, "Egg Heads", in which a pair of combative faces are plotted on grids against a dark void; two lithograph/screenprints from John Baldessari’s "Nose/Silhouette" series; an installation of printed wallpaper with a repeated text arrangement by Marianne Keating, entitled “The Future is Unwritten” Joe Strummer; and Kerry James Marshall’s "Untitled (Bride of Frankenstein)", a hardground aquatint etching depicting a monumental female figure. Many more unique forms and expressions of contemporary printmaking are included in the show.

Trenton Doyle Hancock is a Texas-based artist working in multiple mediums on paper and canvas. His work was selected for the Whitney Biennial in 2000 and 2002, and is included in the collections of numerous major art museums across the country. Hancock’s work has been the subject of one-person exhibitions at the Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, the Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami, the Cleveland Museum of Art, and the Seattle Art Museum, among other venues.

The New Prints Program is funded in part with public funds from the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York State Council on the Arts—a state agency, and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs. A grant from The Robert Lehman Foundation supports IPCNY’s exhibitions programming.
