This exhibition of works by sixty contemporary artists from New York and Seoul reveals the broad range of techniques, styles, and sensibilities active in printmaking today. Representing the state-of-the-art of the genre, these artists manipulate the deep tones and textures accessible to the printmaker to produce artwork with the eye-catching graphic quality that is the hallmark of print.
Printmaking, through its unique ability to produce affordable copies, has been long associated with the democratization of information—and it continues to be a force for wider dissemination of fine art, even in this digital age. Today’s print artists from New York and Seoul, through application of the wide palette of printer techniques, participate in and extend their respective country’s remarkable—and in the case of Korea’s, ancient—history of printmaking.
“Made in New York/Made in Seoul” is a joint effort of the New York Society of Etchers, the Korean Contemporary Printmakers Association, The School of Visual Arts, Carrier Pigeon magazine, and The Korea Society. The collection will also be exhibited at the Seoul Museum of Art’s Gyeonghuigung Annex from October 1-5, 2014.
