AGAINST THE GRAIN

Woodcuts

AT JIM KEMPNER FINE ART

September 10 - September 30, 1998

Jim Kempner Fine Art will present Against the Grain, an exhibition of woodcuts by Helen Frankenthaler, Roy Lichtenstein, Jim Dine, Wayne Thiebaud, Donald Judd, Alex Katz and others from September 10 through September 30, 1998. The gallery is located at 501 West 23rd Street (on Tenth Avenue). Hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10-6pm; and Sundays from 12-5 pm.

Featured in Against The Grain, will be Tales of Genji II, from Helen Frankenthaler's recent print project with Tyler Graphics. Dated 1998, it is a woodcut and stencil on handmade paper in an edition of 36. An exquisite series of prints, Frankenthaler has distinctly stepped outside the ukiyo-e tradition inspired by the Japanese novel of the same title written in the 11th century.

Other highlights include The Student, 1980, by Roy Lichtenstein, a vibrant portrait from his series inspired by the vocabulary of German Expressionism;

and the a woodcut series of rich and intensely colored grids by Donald Judd, Untitled, 1992-93.
