Yvonne Jacquette, Chrysler Building Flanked by High-Rise Buildings, 2009. woodcut on okawara paper; 35 5/8 x 23 1/2 inches. edition of 75The metropolis -- in its mysterious, monumental, intimate, and unseen angulations -- is the muse and protagonist of artist Yvonne Jacquette's body of work, comprising sketches, paintings, and woodcuts.
Tonight, the first retrospective of Jacquette's woodcuts opens at Mary Ryan
Gallery, located in the heart of the Chelsea Gallery district. The exhibition is accompanied by a full-color catalogue available for a modest sum of $15, and will travel to the Springfield Museum of Art in Springfield, Missouri.
I look forward to seeing Jacquette's new works, such as the woodcut of the Chrysler Building above.
