An eye-opening presentation of largely unknown figurative drawings
by a renowned pioneer of abstraction Featuring one hundred
figurative works on paper by Ellsworth Kelly (1923–2015), this
volume shows a new side of an artist best known for abstraction.
These informal depictions of friends and expressive
self-portraits—all rarely or never previously displayed or
published—span the entirety of Kelly’s career, from the
mid-1940s to the early 2000s. Throughout his life, Kelly made
portraits as a means of keeping his hand adept at drawing, which
provided a place to test his ideas, refine his bold use of lines,
and interrogate the space between naturalism and abstraction. These
works also capture his social milieu, which intersected with other
creative circles and the queer community. He painstakingly recorded
how his own appearance changed over time, and once described some
of these sketches by saying, “I use myself in order to draw.”
The accompanying critical essays unpack the ways in which such
intimate efforts were fundamental to Kelly’s practice and situate
this important aspect of his work within the artist’s wider
oeuvre. Distributed for the Art Institute of Chicago Exhibition
Schedule: Art Institute of Chicago (July 1–October 23, 2023)
This newly completed box set of 128 color postcards features each
one of Parkett's ingenious and fascinating editions, objects,
prints, and other works, providing a summation of some of the most
vital and exciting aspects of contemporary art. The box also
contains a 64-page booklet with a foreword and two texts taken from
Parkett's exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, in
2001. Deborah Wye looks at the different ways in which Parkett has
collaborated with artists, including the editions, inserts, spines,
covers, texts, and the very design of the publication. Susan
Tallman explores the diversity and richness of the artists'
editions, which represent a unique musee en appartement, with
distinct responses from many of the most inspiring and influential
contemporary artists worldwide. The booklet also includes color
reproductions of Parkett covers from issues 1 through 64.
Whether it's Georg Baselitz or Olafur Eliasson, Tacita Dean or
Martin Kippenberger: these are the greats who have frequented Niels
Borch Jensen's printmaking studio in Copenhagen. And they've been
coming and going for more than forty years! Not only because of his
special, farsighted expertise, which contributes to the congenial
creation of unique works of art, but also due to his wish to reject
any imposition of aesthetic limitations and to constantly attempt
new things. A look at the story of the studio and its founder,
therefore, also means taking a look through the kaleidoscope of
contemporary art history. This volume is an excursion behind the
scenes at the famous printmaking workshop. Exclusive artist
interviews and the personal recollections of Niels Borch Jensen
offer intriguing insights into the craft of printmaking and the
collaborations with epoch-making artists.

Flatbed Press, a collaborative publishing workshop in Austin,
Texas, has become one of the premier artists' printshops in America
and an epicenter for the art form. Founded in 1989 by Mark Lesly
Smith and Katherine Brimberry, Flatbed provides studio spaces for
visiting artists to work with the press's master printers to create
limited editions of original etchings, lithographs, woodcuts, and
monotypes. The roster of artists who have worked at Flatbed
includes Robert Rauschenberg, John Alexander, Dan Rizzie, Terry
Allen, Michael Ray Charles, Luis Jimenez, Julie Speed, Trenton
Doyle Hancock, and James Surls. Prints produced at Flatbed have
been collected by major museums-the Museum of Modern Art, the
Metropolitan Art Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the
Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Brooklyn Museum, among
others. Lavishly illustrated and printed, Flatbed Press at 25
presents a quarter-century retrospective of the press's
productions. The book features the prints of thirty-five prominent
artists who have collaborated with the press, each represented by
full-color plates and a lively reminiscence by Smith and Brimberry
that describes the process of working with the artist. Eighty
additional artists are also included with a single print and
documentary details. Susan Tallman's introduction places Flatbed in
a national context, defines its uniqueness, and discusses many of
the outstanding artworks that have been created there. Photographs
of the facilities and equipment, technical processes, and artists
and printers at work, as well as a chronology and glossary,
complete the volume.

The American Dream: From Pop to present presents an overview of the
development of American printmaking since 1960, paying particular
attention to key figures such as Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg
and Andy Warhol. The 1960s was a period of change in the
production, marketing and consumption of prints and the medium
attracted a new generation of artists whose attitude towards making
art had been conditioned by the monumentality and bold,
eye-catching nature of popular imagery in postwar America, from
advertising billboards to drive-in movies. Artists used to working
on large canvases and huge sculptures created prints of an
unprecedented ambition, scale and boldness in state-of-the-art
workshops newly established on both the East and West coasts.
Prints also became a means for expressing opinions on the great
social issues of the day, from civil rights to the overt and covert
role of government. This has continued, with feminism, gender, the
body, race and identity, all topics represented in prints in a
variety of stylistic approaches across the decades. The changing
nature of American society provides a core element of the
narrative, with prints offering a fascinating insight into
contemporary thinking and attitudes.
