Laurie Lipton Print Release and Book Signing

Laurie Lipton Print Release & Book Signing
Saturday December 14th, 5-7pm
Don't miss this rare Bay Area visit by master artist Laurie Lipton.
It's been years since Laurie Lipton visited San Francisco. She will be here at the gallery for a special event to celebrate the release of her new print combined with a fabulous Last Gasp book signing.

The Drawings of Laurie Lipton is a comprehensive survey of Lipton’s fantastical, meticulously-detailed pencil drawings. Featuring more than 70 works, this is the most conclusive and ambitious publication about the artist to date, and it is brought to you by the publisher Last Gasp.

Bone China
Giclée Print on Archival Paper
22" x 22"
Edition of 50
Signed by Laurie Lipton
2013

This limited edition is based on the original 2009 charcoal & pencil on paper.
Release Date: December 14, 2013

Here is a picture of an elderly lady surrounded by chattering skeletons. Everything is decaying, except for the Twinkies and cupcakes on the table (which are made up of non biodegradable synthetic chemicals). This is not a morbid English tea fantasy, but an encroaching reality. I'm getting older--& the number of dead I know is growing exponentially. - Laurie Lipton

Szukalski Print Release Next Week!
We are very proud to partner with Archives Szukalski to produce a series of limited edition giclee prints sold exclusively through Varnish. The first print is Szukalski's Flower of Dreams (c.1917), and it will be released on Friday November 15th.

Fans of the late, great Stanislav Szukalski may recognize the detail image of Flower of Dreams shown at right. Drawings by Szukalski prior to 1923 exhibit an Art Nouveau style and are heavily saturated with literary meaning.

The bubble of blood in the blossom is a trans-birth of his (an idealist's) hapless love.

The full image (not shown) and further information are coming soon.
