Lincoln Center Vera List Art Project

The Lincoln Center Vera List Art Project celebrates its 50thanniversary in 2012.  It was established in 1962 by philanthropists Vera and Albert List as a way to both support the visual arts and raise funds for Lincoln Center. Since the inception of the program, Lincoln Center has commissioned more than 125 major artists of the time to create works available for sale to the public.  

The latest commission, by American artist Donald Baechler, launches the Project’s 50thAnniversary commemoration. Titled Lincoln Center Globe, 2011, the 47’ X 36’ print on Lanaquarelle paper, is composed of 40 colors/screens and is quintessential Donald Baechler: a crowd of faces collected and archived over the years make their appearance, layered behind an iconic globe image, one of the artist’s favorite themes for the past several years. Lincoln Center Globe, 2011 is available in a limited-edition of 72 prints. 

Donald Baechler’s print, and all of the prints from the Vera List Art Project are available for view on Lincoln Center’s website. Visit art.lincolncenter.org/to view the complete collection and to purchase prints and posters.

The Golden Ticket

Blinder, a fresh new company in creative and flexible golf bunker lining solutions, celebrated their 1st birthday earlier this year.

The company's directors wanted to make sure the event was unforgettable and were in need of a fun & eye-catching invitation that provided a unique feel to match the company’s ideas. Their team came up with the idea of having a ‘Golden Ticket’ invitation.

Using Mirricard Gold, the result was a unique glossy golden ticket invitation which was packaged with a bar of the company’s unique bunker lining product and a lead card.

Deepwater Projects

Scott Sandel of Deepwater Projects recently completed a new piece for the lobby of Cistrix in Santa Clara, CA. (Photo below).  The piece consists of seven 3D prints that are 96 x 36 x 36", and collaged from 250 gsm. BFK Rives uncoated 22 x 30" sheets. 84 sheets, to be exact, with each sheet printed on both sides on an Epson 7800.

After the digital printing, each 22 x 30 sheet was run through the hand etching press with a flat, hand-rolled layer of transparent lithographic tint base (on both sides). Then the sheets were built into collages, and the collages sewn together in a sailmaker's loft in New London, CT.

Each "kite" has three blades, and the corner of each is tied to an aluminum hoop. On the pointed ends there are small swivels that allow the kite to spin with each blast from the building's HVAC system.  

Said Scott, "To me, it illustrates what's possible beyond what's expected...I've been making prints for a while, and in order to keep making a living at this you need to continually have a new idea to inspire you. Breaking the rules by printing big color areas on uncoated stock was just the first rule broken. Bending, cutting, and sewning the BFK was tremendous fun, but the very thought of doing that would make some printmakers squirm."
