Stuff to know about-- October 2010 edition

First, the MAPC conference starts tomorrow and I haven't packed yet. Say hello if you are going to be there.

The National Gallery of Art has Edvard Munch: Master Prints From July 31–November 28, 2010 Get to it soon!

One more week of Emerging Images: The Creative Process in Prints at IPCNY. New Prints Autumn is October 21 - November 20, 2010. Last, the call for New Prints Winter (PDF) is out now, Due Nov 9.

Print Center in Philly has One of Us: Isaac Tin Wei Lin, Dear Tree Hugger... : Andrew Kozlowski, and Pulling from History: Letterpress up currently.

The Met in NY has Man, Myth, and Sensual Pleasures: Jan Gossart's Renaissance. I haven't seen this yet, but plan to during the print fairs in Nov.

I saw a single print at the Yoshitomo Nara exhibition at the Asia Society last week. Pretty good show. I know his work pretty well, and it's a best of more than a redefinition of his work.

Matisse: Radical Invention, 1913-1917 just came down at the MoMA. It had quite a few monoprints and drypoints. MoMA also have up Robert Rauschenberg’s Currents (1970) and Huma Bhabha’s Reconstructions (2007) through May 2011. But slightly off topic, the New Photography show is the most interesting contemporary work up right now with Kalup Linzy's video titled Lollypop (2006) being a close second.

The Whitney has a Charles Burchfield show with a reproduction of his wallpaper and a few original samples. It's a great show that I highly recommend. Barbara Krueger has an outdoor installation at 820 Washington st.

MFA Boston has their regularly scheduled New Works show up through May 2011. The Christiane Baumgartner prints are pretty choice.

Art Institute of Chicago has a show about kids books and Emerging Japanese Print Artists of the 1960s, 70s, and Beyond.

Portland Museum in Maine has Anna Hepler's cyanotypes and an huge friggin installation on two floors.

I certainly hope LACMA has some prints from Thomas Eakins in the current exhibition.

Americanana at Hunter College has a John's Double Flag and an excellent limited edition fold-out broadside catalog (pdf). It's a great little show.

Philadelphia Museum has Theatrum Pictorium, which is a nerdy little thing: the first illustrated printed catalog of an art collection. Also, Yokohama Prints, 1859-1870 and Revisiting the Centennial: Resources from the Library and Archives which has a ton of printed ephemera.

Barbara Krakow has Julian Opie starting the 23rd.

New Britain Museum has M.C. Escher: Impossible Reality.

Wadsworth Atheneum has American Moderns on Paper Through January.

Klaus von Nichtssagend has up Leafless: Glen Baldridge Benjamin Butler. Glen is a great printer and part of 4th Estate.

In the upcoming important stuff I don't want to forget about category is Goya at the Worcester Museum.

Last, and not least, The Museum of Printing has up Anna Hogan. Who I know not a lick about.

If you know of anything else, let me know!
