World House Editions at The Print Fair | IFPDA |

6 November 2013 – 10 November 2013

Donald Taglialatella is pleased to announce that World House Editions will participate for its first time in the 2013 edition of the Print Fair, sponsored by the International Fine Print Dealers Association. Unique among the world’s major art fairs for its focus on fine prints and editions from all periods, exhibiting dealers at the Print Fair are all members of the International Fine Print Dealers Association. The fair will take place at the Park Avenue Armory between 66th and 67th Streets in New York City. It will open on Wednesday, 06 November from 6:30 to 9pm and will run through Sunday, 10 November. Hours can be found at www.ifpda.org/content/print-fair. The World House Editions stand is number 304.

On exhibit will be five new projects as well as three recent projects, all published by World House Editions. Of the eight artists being shown, seven will be exhibiting at the Print Fair for their first time.

Iowa-based, multi-media artist Mitchell Squire (American, b.1958) will make his print debut with a large lithograph that relates to a body of work known as the Gladiators and is an extension of the artist’s project that utilizes law enforcement artillery targets shot through by practicing officers. This is the first collaboration between Mitchell Squire and World House Editions. Mitchell Squire will be an artist-in-residence at the Fabric Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia in 2014.

Also on view will be one of four new mixed technique etchings by renowned French sculptor Bernar Venet (b.1941). These four large prints are from the artist’s Effondrement: Arcs (Collapsed: Arcs) series and are the artist’s latest works in the print medium. This is the first collaboration between Bernar Venet and World House Editions. The artist is presently showing in Les formes de la pensée/peintre et philosophie, un récitat the Fondation Maeght, Saint-Paul de Vence, France, as well as in In the mirror of reality, La Galleria Venezia, San Marco, Venice, Italy.

Caetano de Almeida (Brazilian, b.1964) is a São Paulo-based painter who is making his first foray into the print medium and will be represented by several new color monotypes typical of the artist’s optically charged and chromatic style of abstraction. This is the first collaboration between Caetano de Almeida and World House Editions. The artist presently has a solo show at Eleven Rivington in New York and will be included in 0-60: The Experience of Time in Contemporary Art, opening this fall at Pratt Manhattan Gallery, Pratt Institute, in New York.

Brooklyn-based painter, collagist and video artist Brian Alfred (American, b.1974) will be represented by a new hand-printed letterpress print. Bleachers represents the artist’s interest in Formula One auto racing – not only in the action, speed and danger that surrounds the sport, but also aesthetically. This is the second collaboration between Brian Alfred and World House Editions. The artist is presently exhibiting in Uncanny Congruencies, at the Palmer Museum of Art at Penn State University.

The final new project this year is a photo edition by the highly influential Belgian video artist, sculptor and photographer, Marie-Jo Lafontaine (b.1950). Alice in Wonderland (Roses), a chromogenic C-print, is the artist’s first edition with an American publisher and is also her first time showing in the United States since her 2001 solo show at the Von Lintel Gallery in New York. This is the first collaboration between Marie-Jo Lafontaine and World House Editions. The artist is presently exhibiting in The Weak Sex- How Art Pictures the New Male at the Kunstmuseum Bern and in Focal Planes: Contemporary Photography and Video Art from the Collection, at the Kunstmuseum Bremen.
In addition to the aforementioned, three recent editions will also be on view.

The extremely important Swiss multi-media artist John Armleder (b.1948) will be represented by SBSP4 and SB3, two stone lithographs from a portfolio of ten called Spirale Blanche. Spirale Blanche (2008) is the third collaboration and seventh individual edition between John Armleder and World House Editions dating back to 2003. The Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh will mount a solo show of John Armleder’s work in September 2014. The entire Spirale Blanche portfolio will be available to be viewed at the Print Fair.

London-based painter Mark Francis (Irish, b.1962) will be represented by a large mixed-technique etching created between July and October of 2011. Entitled Atlas #1, this recent print represents an exciting stylistic departure for the artist. Atlas #1 is the fourth collaboration and the thirteenth individual edition published by World House Editions with Mark Francis since 2004.

The final work representing World House Editions at the Print Fair will be by London-based painter Nicky Hoberman (South African, b.1967). Whoopee Pie III was created by the artist in the fall of 2011 and is part of a series of monotypes from the artist’s Disguise series. Since 2011 Nicky Hoberman has collaborated twice with World House Editions. The artist was included in Painting as a radical form at the Collezione Maramotti in Reggio Emilia, Italy, earlier this year.
