Even Though You Aren't Into Posters

The magazine, Art on Paper, edited by the duo from Triple Candie in NYC, has commissioned a series of limited edition posters. Before you start associating to your Shawn Cassidy (or Farrah Fawcett) poster from childhood or those "fine art" posters that are reproductions of Impressionist paintings, STOP and think "small limited edition" and "established contemporary artists." The first in the series is by Polly Apfelbaum and is shown here. (When I think about Apfelbaum, I think of our friend E who not only owns one of her cheery multi-colored flower prints, but is the human equivalent of that work. We love you, E!) Although the posters can be ordered in one of 3 sizes for $200, $400, or $1,000, the total edition size is 50. If you can get past the idea of poster, these are amazing prices. Her prints go for ten times as much. The posters can be ordered by phone at (212) 675-1968.

Print Week in New York

Print week is coming up in New York.  You'll hear a lot about the two major fairs:  IFPDA which has it's opening party on Wednesday, October 29.  The Editions/Artists' Book fair opening is the following night.  I just read that on the same night, Art on Paper magazine is having a party to kick off their annual print issue -- which includes their choice for the top new print editions.  

Since it is near the EAB fair at the Tunnel, we should be able to knock them both off that night.
