Adamson Gallery is pleased to celebrate the beginning of the 2008 - 2009 season with a selection of works from Adamson Editions. In 1993, Master Printer David Adamson purchased his first Iris printer, inaugurating one of the world’s first digital ateliers. Since that time, Adamson Editions has worked with some of the most important contemporary artists, including Robert Rauschenberg, Jim Dine, Lee Friedlander, William Eggleston, William Christenberry, Lyle Ashton Harris, Annie Leibovitz, Robert Longo, Lou Reed, Mike and Doug Starn, Donald Sultan, Chuck Close, Bruce Weber and William Wegman.
This exhibition represents some of the newer work from Adamson Editions, including work from Chuck Close, Roni Horn, Victor Schrager, Adam Fuss, Jenny Holzer, iona rozeal brown, Renate Aller and Robert Rauschenberg. Like Adamson Editions, these artists take pleasure in combining traditional and groundbreaking forms and techniques. Together, these pieces show the extraordinary breadth of Adamson’s collaborations, as well as illustrate the way in which the atelier continues to make innovations in the exciting new field of digital printing.
In two new untitled prints, Victor Schrager continues experimentation with color, light and texture in beautifully photographed images that verge on the abstract, calling attention to the liminality of their objects. The images recall the classic composition of still life, but bring the form into the virtual age.
