A new catalogue is born for the prolific artist, Mary Frank, and to coincide with her upcoming exhibit at Elena Zang Gallery, opening reception next Saturday, August 22nd (2-5pm). Still vibrant, creating, dedicated to her art, and in her 90s (though you’d never know), and fresh off a solo exhibit at DC Moore Gallery, NYC. An inspiration - and delighted to design this fourth catalogue for her.

What an extraordinary Sunday night - Celebrating Jack DeJohnette - masterfully produced by Danny Melnick, Terri Lyne Carrington, Pat Metheny and Lydia DeJohnette - with these stellar musicians performing, speaking all for the great love of Jack and Lydia. Moving, joyful, all four hours. Jack was surely smiling. I’m so happy to have contributed my design for all its visual needs. I stayed back stage with Tani Tabbal, Roscoe Mitchell, David Murray, Billy Hart, Wadada Leo Smith, Ra Kalam Bob Moses, Rufus Reid, and the musicians that cycled in and out to greet them, and lined off stage, ready to move on stage. The beauty of musicians is that the point is to be connected to each other to make the music happen. Visual artists work solo, but at least they can come together for Openings and historically, they used to flock to jazz clubs in particular to be in that creative energy that they produce. There is a beautiful spirit that occurs amongst musicians and appreciate being in proximity to it. • Artists performing and/or speaking: Don Byron, Michael Cain, Will Calhoun, Terri Lyne Carrington, Denardo Coleman, Steve Coleman, George Colligan, Ravi Coltrane, Marc Copland, Dave Fiuczynski, Bill Frisell, David Gilmore, Edsel Gomez, Larry Grenadier, Drew Gress, Jerome Harris, Billy Hart, Dave Holland, Bruce Hornsby, Joe Lovano, Linda May Han Oh, Rudresh Mahanthappa, John Medeski, Pat Metheny, Roscoe Mitchell, Jason Moran, Ra Kalam Bob Moses, David Murray, Greg Osby, John Patitucci, Danilo Perez, Chris Potter, Luisito Quintero, Rufus Reid, Tim Ries, Wallace Roney Jr., John Scofield, Marvin Sewell, Wadada Leo Smith, esperanza spalding, Bill Stewart, Tani Tabbal, Charles Tolliver, Nasheet Waits. And kudos to Lydia’s assistant Joan Clancy for her great support in the entire endeavor. Everyone (!) donated their time, their expenses, lodging, transportation with all proceeds going to Family of Woodstock and The Table at Woodstock. • #jackdejohnette #patmetheny #terrilynecarrington #dannymelnick

A petite version (8x10 plate) of the exploration of line / shape language within monotype that I had spent many months engaged in earlier in the year (working on a 16x20 plate and full sheet size of 22x30) - so I had to reduce my thinking related to a smaller area.

The great Roscoe Mitchell will be performing at Jack DeJohnette’s celebration this Sunday, accompanied by one of his longtime drummers, Tani Tabbal. Jack’s roots are in the south side of Chicago, as is Roscoe and Tani’s. Jack, early on, played with the AACM (Assoc. for the Advancement of Creative Musicians) members Muhal Richard Abrams, Roscoe Mitchell and Joseph Jarman - so it’s a homage to Jack to have these roots represented. Jack and Roscoe played together in later years along with an ECM recording ‘Made in Chicago’. A celebration of Jack it certainly will be. Tani and Jack enjoyed many conversations with all they had in common. • #roscoemitchell #tanitabbal #jackdejohnette #upac @tanitabbal

My first mentor - strong, clear, gentle - someone I had the privilege of studying with in the short moment we both were at Hunter College (NYC) but continued to become friends and stayed in touch. An extraordinary presence and inspiration. Repost from @elizabethkubany • Wednesday Woman: Karen Karnes • Karen Karnes was an American potter and towering figure of the postwar studio-pottery movement. Known for her refined, quietly expressive stoneware, she pioneered salt-glazing in the 1960s and wood-firing in the 1980s. “Her work opened undreamed of possibilities of expression for the handmade pot. For the many potters who knew her, she was a mentor whose work embodied the creative power and singular voice to which we all aspire—her life in complete harmony with her creative vision,” writes Mark Shapiro about Karnes. • Born in New York City in 1925, she studied design at Brooklyn College before turning to ceramics at Alfred University after time spent in Italy. Her early development was shaped by her involvement at Black Mountain College in the early 1950s, where she worked alongside influential artists and helped catalyze a renewed interest in handmade pottery in postwar America. • Karnes’ work is distinguished by its earthy palette, salt-glazed surfaces, and commitment to tactility and use. “After all these years as a potter, I am still conscious of the privilege of my life. There is still the deep pleasure of making pots on the wheel, the excitement of firing, and kiln opening, the challenge of new forms. It is a life of so much variety and one for which I am fully responsible — a rare quality in work today.”

The Monoprint Invitational at Woodstock School of Art has been in full swing this week in the printmaking studio - full of great energy, focus and momentum. Invited artists have the opportunity to work with a master printer for one half day - with one of the monotypes from that session selected and donated, to be exhibited in one of WSA’s largest fundraisers (this year it will be on September 5, 2026). I’ve been happy to participate both as artist and previously assisting a master printer for very many years. Yesterday was my turn to have a session, sharing the space with my inky sis Joan Ffolliott with both of us guided by the great master printer, Opal DeRuvo. Always tips to learn, observe, absorb in printmaking, where the moisture of the paper, the pressure of the press, the texture of the ink is always at play and effects the outcome of the art on the plate. These master printers have been perfecting their craft (and within their own art) for a long time and it’s a privilege to be privy to some of their craft wisdom. I always go into the print studio with only a vague thought allowing for improvising in the moment. The middle one was selected by Opal for inclusion in the September exhibit. Thanks always to @katemcgloughlin - our beloved WSA printmaking heroine - and to all that make WSA such a very special place to create and expand in. • Monotype • 10x8 plate on Rives BFK printmaking paper • created @_woodstockschoolofart printmaking studio • #monotype #printmaking #contemporaryprintmaking #artonpaper #geometricart @sayyoudo

I’ve been taking the plunge and reworking a few pieces that were already framed (and this one was just about to be in the recent exhibit at 68 Prince Street Gallery, swapped at the last minute for another that worked better with the art that was around it) - and decided to tackle some sections that always tugged at me - and in the process, segments had to go and much was added - but what evolved from solving this puzzle feels more complete. It’s on my own wall to absorb and I look forward to showing it somewhere in the future. • ‘Vasto’ No. 3 redux, 2025-2026 | Mixed media collage | painting + acrylic gouache painted paper, indirect mark making | 20x16 on wood panel, framed. • As an aside, the turquoise raku bowl that makes it into all these photos is by the wonderful potter, Norman Bacon, who once resided/had his studio in Bearsville, NY along with the artisan craft shop, Sweetheart Gallery in Woodstock (also a design client of mine), with artist wife Lila Bacon - they both now reside in NC. The bowl is a beloved treasure, made that much better by knowing whose hands made it. • #mixedmedia #collage #paintedpaper #colorabstraction #geometric

As a graphic designer by profession, I had the rare and special opportunity to work in the design offices of some very significant, well known graphic designers in San Francisco (in particular Doug Akagi and mentor Michael Vanderbyl). Their offices were filled with carefully curated furniture - seating, lighting, and more from very well known designers, some who also were known for their architecture and product design. The experience schooled me in exceptional design in every form, and also taught me to never seek a knock off - thus, only slowly have I built my own small collection. A great photo as well (no attribution). • Repost from @bauhaus.movement • Designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in 1927, the Cantilever Chair challenged conventional furniture design. Its graceful tubular steel frame eliminated the rear legs, creating the illusion of a floating seat while expressing the clarity and precision that became synonymous with modern architecture. • #MiesVanDerRohe #chair #design #furnituredesign #architectanddesign

A pivotal piece created during the pandemic - without access to the printmaking studio, I brought collage back into my life and as a daily ‘practice’ and salve. This is pre painted paper days when I used cut up monotypes and coloraid paper from an old pack I discovered I had (coloraid is silkscreened and archival, btw). During the pandemic I created 200+ 7x5 collages. I named the series ‘InQuietude’ - a take off from the Duke Ellington/Billie Holiday song ‘In my Solitude’. • ‘In Quietude’ No. 131 from the Saturated Series • Mixed Media Collage • 7x5 • framed size 13.75x11.5 • #collage #artonpaper #worksonpaper #mixedmedia #geometricabstraction

Happy birthday to the great photographer, Elliott Erwitt (1928-2023). • Repost from @fotografiska • Why is that dog leaping straight into the air? Because Elliott Erwitt barked at it. Renowned for capturing the humorous and heartfelt moments of everyday life…. Across a career spanning seven decades, Erwitt perfected the art of being “in the right place at the right time,” allowing him to document everything from spontaneous street scenes to historical events and intimate glimpses of cultural icons. His work, featured in global publications, seamlessly blends street photography, photojournalism, and artistic snapshots…. Erwitt views photography as the art of observation - his approach captures the essence of human experiences without words, revealing individuals in moments of contemplation or candid interaction.

I’ve been happy to participate both as artist and assisting a master printer for very many years. While I always go into the print studio with only a vague thought allowing for improvising in the moment, I likely will continue the exploration of line as it converses with shape within the monotype process as I did with this recent work from some months ago (except we will all be working in the smaller 8x10 plate). I look forward to once again having a session with the super master printer Opal DeRuvo.

Repost from @calderfoundation • During the mid-1940s, Calder produced a series of small-scale works, many from scraps trimmed during the making of other objects. When Duchamp saw them in Calder’s studio in 1945, he audaciously proposed, “Let’s mail these little objects to [Louis] Carré, in Paris, and have a show.” By taking advantage of the newly available international airmail system, Duchamp’s action predated “mail art” by nearly two decades. Calder packed thirty-seven miniature objects into six cartons and mailed them to Paris; intrigued by the limitations on parcel size, he also began creating larger collapsible works that could be reassembled upon arrival. Alexander Calder: Mobiles, Stabiles, Constellations opened at Galerie Louis Carré in 1946 and is remembered today as one of the most important shows of the artist’s career.   Images: Grand Piano, Red (1946), sheet metal, wire, and paint; Crayfish (1946), sheet metal and paint; and Red T with Black Flags (1946), sheet metal, wire. © 2026 Calder Foundation, New York / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York   #Calder #AlexanderCalder #CalderFoundation

And no doubt, it was very special to design the stationery for the Calder Foundation many moons ago, working with Sandy [Alexander] Rower, Calder’s grandson. Of course I was fond of Calder’s work then, but that has only grown immensely. It was certainly thrilling to work with Calder’s art ‘icon’, and incorporate it into the stationery design.

Happy birthday, Alexander Calder! • 🎂 Ce jour-là, le 22 juillet 1898, Alexander Calder naissait à Philadelphie, en Pennsylvanie. Sculpteur, peintre et expérimentateur, il ouvre une nouvelle voie dans l’histoire de l’art en donnant du mouvement à la sculpture. Suspendus dans l’espace ou ancrés au sol, ses mobiles dynamiques et stabiles interagissent avec l’air, la lumière et la gravité, invitant le regard à une danse perpétuelle ; celle de trouver l’équilibre au travers de l’air. ‌ 📸 Cette photographie, réalisée par Lore Hammerschmid en 1958, montre Alexander Calder aux côtés de son œuvre “Spirale”, installée au Palais de l’UNESCO à Paris. Commandée pour le nouveau campus de l’UNESCO, cette œuvre monumentale, que l’artiste décrivait comme une hélice « qui s’enroule en spirale », témoigne de l’importance croissante que prend la sculpture à grande échelle dans son travail, devenue l’une des signatures de la fin de sa carrière. . ‌ 🎂 On this day, July 22, 1898, Alexander Calder was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. A sculptor, painter, and experimental artist, he blazed a new trail in art history by bringing movement to sculpture. Whether suspended in space or anchored to the ground, his dynamic mobiles and stabiles engage with air, light, and gravity, inviting the eye to a perpetual dance, the dance of finding balance in the air. ‌ 📸 This photograph, taken by Lore Hammerschmid in 1958, shows Alexander Calder standing next to his work “Spirale,” installed at the UNESCO Palace in Paris. Commissioned for the new UNESCO campus, this monumental work, which the artist described as a helix “that spiral[s] off,” reflects the growing importance of large-scale sculpture in his work, which became one of the hallmarks of his later career. - All works by Calder © 2026 Calder Foundation, New York / ADAGP, Paris - Art Resource, New York Photographie: © Lore Hammerschmid / DR

Repost from @theartbystander • Few artistic partnerships have shaped our understanding of colour as profoundly as Anni and Josef Albers. After leaving the Bauhaus following the rise of Nazism, the couple emigrated to the United States in 1933, where they transformed modern art education at Black Mountain College and later at Yale. Their influence continues to resonate across generations of artists, designers, architects and educators. Josef Albers (1888–1976) dedicated decades to a deceptively simple question: how do colours change according to the colours around them? His landmark series Homage to the Square (1950–76), comprising more than 2,000 paintings, demonstrated that colour is never fixed. It is always relational. The same hue can appear warmer, cooler, lighter or darker depending on its context. His 1963 book Interaction of Color remains one of the most influential texts ever written on colour theory, shifting attention away from abstract rules and towards direct visual experience. Anni Albers (1899–1994) revolutionised textile art. Combining Bauhaus principles with inspiration drawn from pre-Columbian weaving traditions, she helped elevate textiles from the realm of applied art into the language of modernism. Through intricate structures, subtle rhythms and luminous threads, she showed that colour could be woven as powerfully as it could be painted. Together, the Alberses proved that colour is not decoration. It is perception. Their work transformed colour into a language capable of shaping space, emotion, movement and meaning. Nearly a century later, their ideas still influence painting, architecture, fashion, graphic design and digital culture. @albers_foundation #josefalbers #annialbers #albers #colour #thartbystander

I got a sneak peek of the upcoming Avery exhibit when I dropped off some related design materials - it is SPECTACULAR!! - a must see - opens Saturday, July 11 - ‘Coming Upstate: The Avery Family in Woodstock’. Added at the end are the exterior exhibition banners I designed for this exhibit. • Repost from @karmakarma9 • Opening this Saturday—’Going Upstate: The Avery Family in Woodstock’ at the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild (@woodstock_byrdcliffe_guild). This exhibition brings together works by four generations of the Avery family, including Milton Avery (@miltonaveryestate) and Sally Michel Avery; their daughter, March Avery, and her husband, Philip G. Cavanaugh; their son, Sean Cavanaugh; and his daughter, Delilah Cavanaugh. Curated by Dr. Bruce Weber, ‘Going Upstate: The Avery Family in Woodstock’ opens July 11, from 3–5 pm, and will be on view through October 25 at the Kleinert James Gallery.

Little Yellow Panel is currently on view in the Curve Gallery at Calder Gardens (@caldergardens). The wall sculpture is one in a series of works that relate to Calder’s suggestion to Mondrian in October 1930 that the older artist make a series of cut-out cardboard rectangles tacked to the walls of his studio “oscillate.” While the Dutch artist was dismissive of the idea, Calder started exploring it in his own work, creating a series of paintings in motion—“frames” and “panels” that consisted of abstract forms set in front of colored plywood panels or within boxlike frames.     Video: Little Yellow Panel (1936), Calder Gardens, Philadelphia, 2025. © 2026 Calder Foundation, New York / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York    #Calder #AlexanderCalder #CalderFoundation #CalderGardens

“You are America. Unconstrained by habit and convention. Unencumbered by what is, ready to seize what ought to be. For everywhere in this country, there are first steps to be taken, there is new ground to cover, there are more bridges to be crossed. America is not the project of any one person. The single most powerful word in our democracy is the word ‘We.’ ‘We The People.’ ‘We Shall Overcome.’ ‘Yes We Can.’ That word is owned by no one. It belongs to everyone. Oh, what a glorious task we are given to continually try to improve this great nation of ours.” –President Obama, 2015 • Repost from @print_mag • The scale of the project is extraordinary. The inscription consists of 103 words formed by 458 individual letters, each standing 4 feet, 4 inches tall—the typographic equivalent of approximately 5,350-point Gotham Bold.

A Picasso I had never seen before - perhaps a collage.

An unconventional space in an old wooden structure, surrounded by trees and mountain views and an astounding maze of stone sculpture - a setting for curator Jen Dragon’s imagination. Thank you Taliesin for making the woodsy trek, and of course Jen for including my work amidst a super group of artists. [Images and more of the text added and rearranged]. Repost: @crosscontemporaryart Thank you, Taliesin Thomas @taliesinthomas, for visiting and reviewing ‘VERTEX / Geometry of Edges’ in Hyperallergic @hyperallergic. Here is a link to the article: https://bit.ly/upstateartwknd26 -with artists Ginnie Gardiner, Alex Kveton, Susanna Ronner, Lynne Tobin, Osi Audu, Kati Vilim and Whitney Hagen. • ‘…If UAW’s unusual format is any indication, many of us in the region embrace an “outside-the-system” approach to presenting and enjoying art... Jen Dragon similarly sees shows outside of the so-called “white cube” of gallery spaces as the right place to exercise new ideas and ways of presenting art. She curated VERTEX | Geometry of Edges at the Richards Gallery at Opus 40 in Saugerties. Opus 40 is one of the most incredible gems to experience anywhere in New York, consisting of a six-and-a-half-acre earthwork made of finely fitted bluestone in an abandoned quarry as created by the late visionary artist and Bard College professor Harvey Fite. When I visited on Friday, Dragon was overseeing the final touches of this gorgeous little group show including angular works by Osi Audu, Lynne Tobin, and Kati Vilim, among others. Describing herself as an “art enabler,” Dragon spoke of the use of alternative sites for showcasing artists’ work. “This is the future — creating art in unexpected places, not galleries,” she commented.’ • #opus40 #uaw #artinunconventionalspaces #hudsonvalleyart

Pondering this series from the past three months and appreciating having time to live with it.

This was a fun exhibit last year at Richard’s Gallery / Opus 40, conceived and curated by Jen Dragon. It was great to create on a different material. I’ve since been saving special cardboard in anticipation of doing more. • Repost from @crosscontemporaryart • ‘CORRUGATED, a group show featuring work by Michael Ballou, Mara Clawson, Joe Diggs, Adrian Frost, Rah Gerg, Wendy Klemperer. Henry Klimowicz. Ian Laughlin, Lowell Miller. Cardboard, often overlooked, is a versatile medium for artists and designers. Its accessibility and low cost encourage innovation and experimentation. In an era where sustainability is paramount, cardboard offers an eco-friendly alternative to traditional materials, enabling artists to create innovative artworks while minimizing their environmental footprint. The lightweight nature of cardboard allows for easy manipulation and transport, while its recyclability makes it an ideal choice for sustainable art practices. By transforming waste into art, creators not only challenge consumer culture but also inspire others to reconsider their relationship with materials. The artists in this exhibition independently explore color, shape, and form, demonstrating that beauty and ingenuity can emerge from simplicity. Ultimately, art made from cardboard reflects the power in the mundane, inviting us to rethink our relationship with consumer culture, challenge perceptions of value, and encourage a shift toward more sustainable practices.’ • Mixed Media collage on a cut cardboard box (painted gesso with painted paper, paper segments from monotype and silkscreen, with direct and indirect mark making). 11.5x13. • #cardboard #surfaceexploration #dimensionalart #ecoart #cardboardart

This will be a very special upcoming exhibit at the Kleinert James Gallery, Woodstock, NY. Design of this graphic for social media along with the exterior banners that hang outside the gallery, postcards, special invitations and more. The exhibit is curated by art historian Bruce Weber. @woodstock_byrdcliffe_guild • ‘Spanning four generations, the exhibition brings together works by Milton Avery and Sally Michel, their daughter March Avery, her husband Philip G. Cavanaugh, their son Sean Cavanaugh, and his child Delilah Cavanaugh. For the first time, the public will have the opportunity to experience an intimate look at the art created in Woodstock by the Avery family — a body of work deeply rooted in American modernism. For 125 years, Byrdcliffe has cultivated a community of artists at the base of Mount Guardian in the hamlet of Woodstock, welcoming luminaries from Laszlo Moholy-Nagy and Eva Hesse to Philip Guston and Bob Dylan. Yet few families have embodied Byrdcliffe’s creative spirit across generations as fully as the Averys. Milton and Sally Avery first visited the Woodstock area in 1939 and spent their summers at Byrdcliffe in the early 1950s with their daughter March. Milton and Sally returned to the area in the summer of 1962, and since Milton’s death in 1965, surviving members have continued to travel upstate to their home in Bearsville, where the area continues to inspire generation after generation. “My family has been connected to Woodstock and the Catskills for over 75 years,” said artist and family member Sean Cavanaugh. “The 1950 residency by my Grandparents at Byrdcliffe was the catalyst for this amazing bond. Over the years this magical place has provided endless inspiration and rejuvenation across four generations. I hope this exhibition can convey how much this region has given us and how it continues to enrich our work and lives.”’ • @cavanaughimage #byrdcliffe #miltonavery #marchavery #woodstockartists #woodstockny

Repost from @alexandergrayassociates • Melvin Edwards created his first painted sculptures in 1968 during a residency at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, MN the same year he joined the Smokehouse Associates in New York with fellow artists William T. Williams, Billy Rose, and Guy Ciarcia. Together with other members of the collective, he painted vivid, abstract murals in Harlem, transforming vacant sites and revitalizing the neighborhood. Adapting the color and geometry of these projects, his chromatic sculptures foreground a sense of color freed from symbolism. “Osu” takes its title from a neighborhood in Accra, Ghana, revealing the profound impact of Edwards’s experiences in Africa on his practice. At the same time, the sculpture’s dynamic form, which juxtaposes angular and rounded shapes, expands on the modernist language of Alexander Calder’s stabiles while inviting comparisons to Julio González, David Smith, and Mark di Suvero’s reductive steel constructions. — “Osu,” 1983.

This piece began an inquiry - of using line within the monotype process in a more dominant way - not as an accent but as an equal player with shape. Three recent months regularly in the printmaking studio transpired as I further worked out how to have line overlap and in conversation with shape (seen in later pieces culminating in a recent solo exhibit at MVN Design which continues to carry my work) - something that had previously eluded me as how to achieve in the printmaking process. • Monotype • 16x20 plate on 22x30 Rives BFK • two passes through the press • created @_woodstockschoolofart printmaking studio transpired. • #monotype #lineandshape #printmaking #abstractprintmaking #hudsonvalleyny @mvndesign

Happy birthday Milton Glaser! It was a personal thrill and honor to be invited up to Milton’s home in Woodstock, NY shortly after having moved from San Francisco - having called him on the recommendation of my design mentor, the equally great and renowned Michael Vanderbyl @michaelvanderbyl , who I worked for in SF for a period of time. Conversing with Milton was akin to being in the presence of a deep, wise, creative mind and soul - he posed questions I had never pondered - about life as a designer and what will keep one motivated over the long haul. We stayed in touch but it was in later years, seeing him again and learning of his exploration of monotype at the Woodstock School of Art that led me there and soon after, a return to my own artmaking via monotype (alongside working as a designer) - and for that, will especially always be grateful. Milton passed in 2020 but his legacy of creativity and wisdom is timeless. “What I feel fortunate about is that I’m still astonished, that things still amaze me. And I think that that’s the great benefit of being in the arts, where the possibility for learning never disappears, where you basically have to admit you never learn it.” Milton Glaser • photo: Robert Wright for the New York Times. #miltonglaser #mentor @miltonglaserinc

I have a ‘thing’ for painted stripes and it has a way of working itself into my artwork even in a little snippet or more pronounced - and Hockney’s are so great. This portrait shown in ‘82 Portraits and 1 Still-life’ (an exhibit @LACMA in 2018). ‘Hockney invited family members, fellow artists, art dealers, curators, employees, close friends, and acquaintances to sit for him over a period of two or three days…The majority of the 82 portraits, which Hockney considers one body of work, were created between 2013 and 2016 in the artist’s Hollywood Hills studio. All were painted in acrylic on 48 × 36” canvases, with the artist’s subjects seated in the same yellow armchair against a blue background, which Hockney adjusted depending on the sitter’s clothing. Each painting was executed within three days, which, in a wry commentary on photography, Hockney calls “a 20-hour exposure.”’ • #davidhockney #davidhockneyportraits #davidhockneystripes
