Indian Lithographs from the Collection of Mark Baron and Elise Boisanté
International Print Center New York announces SEEING GOD IN PRINTS: Indian Lithographs from the Collection of Mark Baron and Elise Boisanté, an exhibition of printed images of Hindu gods and goddesses published in India in the 19th and 20th centuries. Curated by Andrew McCord and Mark Baron, the Exhibition will be on view from March 4th-April 11th, 2009, in IPCNY’s gallery at 526 West 26th Street in Chelsea, Room 824.
SEEING GOD IN PRINTS is the first formal presentation in the United States of this genre of Indian art. The Exhibition is comprised of some thirty-one historically significant lithographs of Hindu gods and goddesses printed during the last quarter of the 19th century and through the 1940s. First printed in Europe, later at Indian-run commercial color presses, these lithographs were produced in large editions and widely distributed to merchants and households across India. In the words of Mr. McCord, these prints, "as standardized, forward facing icons, give an immediate and portable connection to the divine."
International Print Center New York is located in Chelsea on 26th Street526 West 26th Street, Room 824. Hours are 11- 6 p.m., Tuesday-Saturday. For additional information, call Kendra Sullivan, Program Manager, at Kendra@ipcny.org or visit IPCNYs website www.ipcny.org.
