New Prints 2009/Winter is the thirtieth presentation of IPCNY’s New Prints Program, a series of juried exhibitions organized by IPCNY four times each year, featuring prints made within the past twelve months by artists at all stages of their careers. The exhibition represents a cross-section of some of the most exceptional printmaking today, while continuing IPCNY’s commitment to provide an ongoing exhibition venue for contemporary prints and a major source of information about artists working in the medium.

Three artists’ books are included in the exhibition, along with a portfolio of lithographs by Anders Bergstrom, a suite of etchings by William H. Skerritt that read as a treatise on pavement friction, and a three-dimensional, text-based piece fabricated with thread by Buzz Spector.

The New Prints Program is the core of IPCNY’s exhibition programming. New Prints 2000 launched the program in September 2000. To date, these thirty exhibitions have included work from over 900 artists and 200 presses across the country and abroad.

International Print Center New York is a non-profit institution founded to promote the greater appreciation and understanding of the fine art print worldwide. Through innovative programming, it fosters a climate for the enjoyment, examination and serious study of artists' prints – from the old master to the contemporary. IPCNY offers its members a program of workshop and gallery visits, and has established an informational website and Information Desk available to the public at the gallery. IPCNY depends upon public and private donations to support its programs.

The New Prints Program is funded in part with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts. Generous funding is provided by The Greenwall Foundation. A grant from the Robert Lehman Foundation supports IPCNY’s exhibitions programs.
