May 28 - September 1, 2024
From the MFAH:
“On View through September 1, 2024 A suite of 60 works presented in independent installations highlights strengths of the museum’s collection: Leaving Traces: Drawings by Ilka Gedő features work by the Hungarian Jewish artist from the mid- to late 1940s that demonstrates her undiminished creative powers in the face of war and societal upheaval. Mirror, Mirror on the Wall: Artists’ Reflections of Self and Other Artists spotlights artists’ representation of themselves and fellow creatives, considering the multiple functions such images fulfill as records of physical likenesses, explorations of identity, and expressions of professional and personal admiration. In Print: Universal Limited Art Editions celebrates the impact of the New York printmaking studio founded in 1957 by Tatyana Grosman on graphic art, showcasing prints by early icons like Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns alongside more contemporary examples such as Kiki Smith’s Banshee Pearls, a lithograph on 12 sheets of paper. Prints by Carroll Dunham at ULAE Press displays prints in a variety of media that exemplify Dunham’s endless appetite for technical and stylistic experimentation, ranging from monochromatic linear abstractions to riotous explosions of color, pattern, and texture.
Curator: Dena Woodall Location: Nancy and Rich Kinder Building, 5500 Main, Gallery 207 Illustration: Ilka Gedő, Self-portrait, 1948-1949, pastel on wove paper, gift of Dávid and Daniel Bíró.”

Are there any particular works from the “Prints by Carroll Dunham at ULAE Press” section that you’re especially excited about? I’ve always been intrigued by his experimental style and use of color.
