Alberto Burri: Grafica
is an exhibition of the less frequently seen work in prints created by this innovator in post World War II abstraction. The show is on view now atLuxembourg & Dayan, 64 East 77th Street, NYC, until October 24, 2015. Burri (1915-1995) engaged in printmaking intensively from 1971 to 1994, beginning with a series of 10 Creti, created in response to a destructive earthquake in Sicily in 1968. These prints have the tactile, freighted materiality familiar to us in his paintings. Burri experimented with printing aquatint etchings using high pressure and heated plates, collage, gold leaf and other techniques, done in collaboration with workshops such as Stamperia 2 RC in Rome, Italy and Mixografia, Los Angeles, in the United States. This show will coincide with a retrospective of his work, The Trauma of Painting, at The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, NY.luxembourgdayan.com

Celebrating Print Magazine
Available now, this bi-annual magazine created by Kads NY, is devoted to fine art printmaking from Central and Eastern Europe.

The exhibition, Celebrating Print 2015, juried by Mildred Beltré, will be opening on December 8, 2015 and continue to January 13, 2016, at BBLA Gallery in New York City. 

Gallery 690: The Metropolitan Museum of Art
The rotation of drawings and prints from the permanent collection can be depended upon to excite the eyes and the mind. In the current selection, an astounding range of works are present. Very noteworthy are: one of the few surviving large scale preparatory chalk cartoons from the Renaissance by the Italian artist Domenichino (1581 Bologna - 1641 Naples) made up of 14 sheets of blue laid paper; etchings by the 19th century Spanish artist Mariano Fortuny, who was an influence on the painter Francesco Oller, the subject of a painting retrospective now on at the Brooklyn Museum; and prints by the contemporary American artists Thomas Nozkowski and James Siena. A large new engraving by Siena shows the potentials of this demanding technique for new linear expression. metmuseum.org

Learn the basic skills of engraving on copperplate with the German artist Anton Würth, teaching at MGC at the end of October.
