Carroll Dunham Prints: A Survey

February 2—April 3, 2010

Most widely known for his comic, hallucinatory paintings, Carroll Dunham (b.1949) is also a prolific printmaker. This survey features over 100 prints including lithographs, etchings, drypoints, linocuts, wood engravings, screen prints, digital prints and monoprints all made since 1984. An integral part of his artistic process, Dunham’s prints combine the spontaneity and drama of his paintings with the careful premeditation demanded of the medium. His imagery-—which shares the wickedly cartoony semi-abstractions of his paintings—is transformed, refined, and often intensified in his graphic work.

Organized by Addison Gallery of American Art, Phillips Academy, Andover, MA. Generous support for the exhibition and publication was provided by the Strypemonde Foundation.
                                         

Curated by Allison Kemmerer, Curator of Photography an Art after 1950, Addison Gallery of American Art, Andover, MA.

The exhibition is accompanied by a comprehensive catalogue raisonné co-published with Yale University Press.
