Chelsea Print Crawl
Sponsored by the IFPDA 

A self-paced gallery walk offering art enthusiasts a perspective on the state of the art of 20th and 21st century printmaking and the key artists to watch. The schedule includes artist and gallery talks at each location as well as a meet-up for participants at the final destination, the IPCNY/International Print Center New York. To participate, either download an itinerary at www.ifpda.org or pick up a map at the first stop.

The itinerary begins with a historical show of early works by the abstract expressionists and continues to the large format prints of the ‘80s by Chuck Close and Robert Longo, a survey of iconic editions of Louise Bourgeois, and Leonardo Drew’s newest three-dimensional multiples using handmade paper pulp. Highlights include an opportunity to compare etching and lithography plates created by Richard Serra and Robert Rauschenberg with the resulting works.

Print Crawl 12 – 5 pm

Meet & Mingle 5 – 6 pm

WHAT IS A PRINT? Galleries will present works of art that have been created using the techniques of etching, engraving, lithography, woodcut, or screenprinting. These works are not mechanical reproductions or copies of drawings or paintings. Each is pulled by hand from an inked surface.
