On the Mark: Contemporary Works on Paper
July 3 – September 12, 2010
Free exhibition
This intimate exhibition of nine recently acquired prints and drawings shows how a single element takes on new meaning when multiplied or magnified. The highlight is Ellsworth Kelly’s River II, a monumental lithograph more than six feet by nine feet in size that presents a grid of enlarged brushstrokes rearranged in what appears to be random order. Also shown are works by Astrid Bowlby, Annabel Daou, Tara Donovan, Ann Hamilton, Juan Logan, Vik Muniz, Gerhard Richter, and Koo Kyung Sook. These prints and drawings find beauty in the ordinary—the curve of a rubber band, the repetition of word, an artist’s mark.
