Under Pressure: Prints from Two Palms Press

Founded five years ago by David Lasry, Two Palms Press, located in New York City, has collaborated with a fairly limited number of artists but in a highly intensive fashion. That alone would make for a situation in which artist and printer influence each other deeply. But perhaps more important is the fact that Lasry himself is an artist. His choice of collaborators reflect his artistic interest, not only his technical ones.Whether an artist is well established or up and coming, the printer's role is to get inside the artist's skin and to elicit potentialities the artist may not have realized were there. Included here are works by Pedro Barbeito, Mel Bochner, Chuck Close, Tara Donovan, Caroll Dunham, Sol LeWitt, David Row, Jessica Stockholder, and Terry Winters.Barry Schwabsky is the author of 'Under Pressure: Prints from Two Palms Press' with ISBN 9780295981192 and ISBN 0295981199.
