Jim Kempner will inaugurate the fall season at his new gallery location in Chelsea with an exhibition of Jennifer Bartlett prints and drawings from the 70's through the 90's. The exhibition will feature seminal graphic works from her important series In the Garden, The Elements, The Seasons, and Rhapsody. The show will also include several drawings from In the Garden and her recent Earth series. The dates of the exhibition are September 11 through October 18. The gallery is now located in Chelsea, at 501 West 23 Street (entrance on 10th Avenue), New York City. Hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10-6; and Sunday from 12-5.
Drawing and printmaking have always been important facets of Bartlett's oeuvre, sharing a common imagery with her paintings. The works in this exhibition will exemplify the artist's mastery of all aspects of drawing and printmaking -etching, woodblock, lithography, silkscreen, aquatint , pastel and colored pencil.
