Centuries Collide and Colors Ignite in New York

A Renaissance woodcut and a contemporary cashmere blanket rarely share the same spotlight, but at the IFPDA Print Fair’s lively return to Park Avenue Armory, such juxtapositions are the norm. This year’s edition pulses with energy, from a line of eager visitors winding into the winter night to a dazzling array of works spanning five centuries. • Jarvis Boyland’s debut lithograph, born from a New Mexico residency, glows with the spirit of religious iconography and fresh technique—a first for the artist, now rising fast in New York’s art scene. • The poetic pairing of Vija Celmins and Toba Khedoori at David Zwirner’s booth transforms everyday nature into ethereal visions, while Katherine Bradford’s swimmers bring a splash of color and light to the fair’s waters. • Louise Bourgeois’s iconic motifs, Tom Hammick’s experimental prints, and Joan Mitchell’s expressive abstractions all underscore the fair’s embrace of both tradition and innovation. • Even Albrecht Dürer’s 1498 “Four Horsemen” rides again, a testament to printmaking’s enduring drama. From medieval drama to modern vibrance, the Print Fair proves that paper can hold centuries of surprise. #Printmaking #ArtHistory #IFPDA2024 #Culture
