Eye on Europe - Moma



Eye on Europe: Prints, Books & Multiples/1960 to Now

October 15, 2006–January 1, 2007

The Museum of Modern Art Gallery

http://www.moma.org/exhibitions/2006/EyeOnEurope.html

Taking the explosion of the screenprint in London in the early 1960s as its starting point, this major exhibition identifies significant strategies exploited by European artists to extend their aesthetic vision within the mediums of prints, books, and multiples. Seminal figures such as Richard Hamilton, Joseph Beuys, Marcel Broodthaers, and Georg Baselitz serve as anchors to sections that explore commercial techniques, serial abstraction,
language, confrontational approaches, and the expressionist impulse. Concentrations of prints and books by Hanne Darboven, Mangelos, and Dieter Roth, among others, introduce work rarely shown in the United States and attempt to characterize distinctly European voices. Posters by Martin Kippenberger and Franz West reveal the exuberance of that medium, and wallpaper by Sarah Lucas, Peter Kogler, and Damien Hirst exemplify the recent fascination with this populist printed format.

Modern Chinese Prints - Sydney




21 October 2006 - 28 January 2007
Asian Gallery, Ground Level

This exhibition reveals the very distinct journey Chinese printmaking has made from the 1930s to today. Comprising of around 70 prints by nearly 40 artists, drawn from the collections of the Art Gallery of NSW and Sydney University, the exhibition will provide an intriguing insight into Chinese cultural history: from the politicized voice of the collective mass ('WE') during socially and politically turbulent times, to the rediscovery and expression of the self ('ME') in the post-cultural revolution era.
