Dialogues Across Time presents a selection of prints old and new that allow us to see their historical connections and entanglements by exploring themes that have been fundamental to artistic expression for centuries.
While Dorothea Rockburne makes the association explicit by titling a lithograph, Melencolia, after one of Dürer’s most celebrated engravings, other artists are less conscious of them, and perhaps indifferent to the history that underlies their work.
We are thrilled to announce the opening of “Dialogues Across Time: From Dürer to the Artists of Gemini G.E.L.”, a special exhibition curated by the renowned print curator and scholar, Susan Dackerman.
Artists both document and produce history. They simultaneously exist in its stream while forging their own pathways. Printed images have always been a source of historical knowledge for artists, and printmaking, in turn, is a means of making their own histories visible to us now.
As references, Dean took many photographs of colorful west coast sunsets, which were then matched by master printer Jill Lerner through a complex technique of layering transparent and semi-opaque colors.
