International Print Center New York announces New Prints
2006/Spring: Selected by Richard Tuttle, the
twentieth presentation of its New Prints Program. The exhibition
will be on view from May 4th through June 17th, 2006 in
IPCNY's gallery at 526 West 26th Street, Room 824, between
10th and 11th Avenues in Chelsea. New Prints 2006/Spring
is one of a series of juried exhibitions organized by IPCNY
four times each season featuring current prints made by
artists at all stages of their careers.
Once
a year, beginning with New Prints 2005/Spring: Selected
by Kiki Smith, IPCNY's Exhibition Committee has invited
an individual artist to make the selections for a New Prints
exhibition. This year, the artist Richard Tuttle, celebrated
for his work in the medium of printmaking as well as painting
and sculpture, agreed to serve as the juror and curator
for New Prints 2006/Spring .
IPCNY
received approximately 1,500 submissions, of which Mr. Tuttle
selected twenty prints and artists books by twelve artists
for inclusion in the exhibition. All prints were released
within the past year. With New Prints 2006/Spring, IPCNY
continues its presentations of contemporary artists' prints,
creating an ongoing exhibition venue for new work and a
central source of information about artists working in the
medium of printmaking.
The
complete artists' list for New Prints 2006/Spring
is as follows: John Baldessari, Enriqué Chagoya,
Phil Davis, Benjamin Edwards, Florin Hategan, William Kentridge,
Vilja Virks Lee, Erin T. Robin, Petr Shvetsov, Tatiana Iovanova
Simonova, Joan Snyder and Amy Worthen.
A
statement from the Richard Tuttle will accompany
the exhibition.
Richard Tuttle's artistic accomplishments have been most
recently highlighted in The Art of Richard Tuttle,
a major traveling retrospective spanning his forty-year
career. The exhibition originated at the San Francisco Museum
of Modern Art in July, 2005 and traveled to the Whitney
Museum of American Art in New York in November. It is currently
at the
Des Moines Art Center in Des Moines, Iowa, on view through

Chicago, and Los Angeles.
