Editions Fawbush

Sandra Gering Gallery, New York

Sandra Gering Gallery is pleased to present a selection of work from Editions Fawbush, one of the foremost publishers of artists' prints and multiples since 1997. The installation will include works by Robert Beck, Marco Breuer, Wayne Gonzales, Tony Matelli, Matthew McCaslin, Shahzia Sikander, Richard Tuttle, Leo Villareal, Andrea Zittel and others.

Sculptural editions featured in the exhibition will range from Tony Matelli's Constant Consciousness, a life-size, realistically cast painted brass sculpture of several stamped-out cigarette butts, to Sue De Beer's Mr. Kitty (tiger version), a giant, plush stuffed animal sculpture – two of Editions Fawbush's most recent publications.

Among the prints included in the exhibition will be Afloat, a screenprint by Shahzia Sikander (currently on exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art, NY); W/G/B, a series of unique monotypes by Marco Breuer; and Kiki Smith's How I Know I'm Here, a 14' long frieze-like linocut, created in 1985 but not editioned until 2000. Editions Fawbush founders Thomas Jones and Russell Calabrese named the company after Joe Fawbush, influential gallery owner and publisher. One of the earliest projects by Joe Fawbush was Kiki Smith's first print, Possession is Nine-Tenths of the Law, 1985, the same year How I Know I'm Here was created.

Over the past eight years, Editions Fawbush has been privileged to work with a growing list of established artists, including Andres Serrano, Nancy Spero, Jack Pierson, Sol LeWitt and Jim Hodges. Many younger artists, whose artistic lineage embraces elements of Conceptual and Minimal Art, compliment this group. Through an aggressive and ambitious program, Editions Fawbush has collaborated with artists to explore materials or ideas which, whether core to their discipline or tangential to their practice, have led them to new and challenging works.

Editions Fawbush projects are in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, NY, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, and the Denver Art Museum, among many other public and private collections. Recent institutions to exhibit their projects include the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum, the Barbican Centre, London, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Moderne Museet, Stockholm, and Kunst Werke, Berlin. Forthcoming exhibits include the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, and the New Museum of Contemporary Art, NY.
