Timing: 9:00 am- 1:00 pm and 2:00 - 6:00 pm, Saturday – Thursday
Artists through the centuries have been drawn to printmaking as a valid artistic media of expression (etchings, wood block printing, engraving and lithography), notable examples being Rembrandt, Goya and the Impressionists. With the 20th century and the high prices of art, printmaking became a viable way of having multiple images and making art available to more people at reasonable prices.
With the Pop Art movement silkscreen + offset printing became intentionally used as popular commercial techniques adapted and adopted for artistic expression. The artists in this exhibition are all 20 and 21st century artists who have chosen to work in these medias because they feel these are the best techniques to express their artistic concepts.
The signed posters exhibition was first presented by Fereydoun Ave at 13 Vanak St in Tehran in the 80's when it was impossible to get original art into or out of Iran. Cy Twombly, Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns were asked to sign their posters to make the show happen.
