Printed Matter, Editions 1976-2006

Printed Matter is extremely pleased to present the exhibition, 30 Years: Printed Matter, Editions 1976-2006, a survey of books and multiples published through the organization's venerable history. Since its inception in 1976, Printed Matter has produced over 40 books and over 60 editions, from photographs and lithographs to shopping bags and wooden postcards, in collaboration with over 100 artists. Please join us for an opening reception on Friday, October 21, from 5--7pm. Printed Matter is located at 195 Tenth Avenue between 21st and 22nd streets.

The variety and range of books published by Printed Matter reflects our commitment to the practice of artists' books as a democratic venue for contemporary art. Printed Matter's earliest books included a series published in association with Lapp Princess Press that allowed artists such as Chuck Close and James Rosenquist to create affordable artists books in an elegant square format. In 2002, Printed Matter reinvigorated its publishing program by creating the Emerging Artist Publication Series to further support and encourage young artists by producing publications that they may not have the financial or production resources to realize. Books in the series include the award-winning Absence (co-published with the Whitney Museum) and the complete reprint of the underground 'zine The Salivation Army (co-published with Art Metropole, Toronto). The newest publication in the series, Like Ghosts by Adam Shecter, was co-published with Imschoot (Belgium), and will be launched on October 26, from 5--7 pm.

Printed Matter's first artwork multiple produced as a fundraising vehicle was a photographic edition by Richard Prince (1984). Works on display include a photo edition by Cindy Sherman, bookends by Richard Artschwager, bookplates by Robert Gober, and a tailbone sculpture by Kiki Smith. In honor of our 30th anniversary, Printed Matter is again publishing a photographic fundraising edition with Richard Prince to coincide with The NY Art Book Fair, Printed Matter's newest initiative. The NY Art Book Fair will take place during the exhibition on November 17--19, 2006, and will also feature new editions by Matthew Brannon and Chris Johanson.
