International Print Center New York welcomes summer '05 with
New Prints 2005/Summer-- ETCHINGS, the seventeenth presentation
of its New Prints Program, a series of juried exhibitions
highlighting brand-new prints made by artists at all stages
of their careers. With this exhibition, IPCNY continues its
role as an ongoing exhibition venue for contemporary artists'
prints, and a central source of information about artists
working today in the medium of printmaking.
In
a departure from our usual New Prints exhibitions which
showcase examples of all mediums of printmaking, the submissions
criteria and selections process for New Prints 2005/Summer
were focused on a single medium-etching .
The
Selections Committee for New Prints 2005/Summer was
made up of the followin individuals: Desirée Alvarez,
artist; Alexandra Anderson-Spivy, writer; Judy Hecker, Assistant
Curator, Department of Prints and Illustrated Books, The
Museum of Modern Art; Jennifer Melby, Master Printer; Harris
T. Schrank, collector and IPCNY Trustee; and Michael Steinberg,
Director, Michael Steinberg Fine Art.
A
curatorial essay by Alexandra Anderson-Spivy will accompany
the exhibition.
The
artworks included in New Prints 2005/Summer--fifty-eight
works by forty-four artists-represent a snapshot of the
broad range of possibilities within the medium of etching.
Consistent with all New Prints exhibitions thus far, the
exhibition brings together work from a wide range of artists
and presses across the country, as well as a growing number
of international sources including Brazil, France, Germany,
Italy and South Africa.

International
Print Center New York is a non-profit institution founded
to promote the greater appreciation and understanding of
the fine art print worldwide. Through innovative programming,
it fosters a climate for the enjoyment, examination and
serious study of artists' prints-from the old master to
the contemporary. IPCNY offers its members a program of
workshop and gallery visits, and has established an informational
website and Information Desk available to the public at
the gallery. IPCNY depends upon public and private donations
to support its programs. IPCNY will be celebrating its Fifth
Anniversary next season.
The
New Prints Program is funded in part with a grant from The
Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and with public
