2002
David Row "Push Comes to Shove"
7.5"" x 17.75" on  Rives BFK paper and printing was done on a Takach press. Edition size 120, only 18 prints available. Retail Price:  $800;  Member's Price: $400. 

With this new work of art, the Print Club of Rochester has taken a new path:  that of printer and publisher. David Row created the drawings which provide the basis for this print. These drawings were then transferred to copper plates using the latest technology in intaglio printmaking.  Six plates were inked and printed for each individual print that was pulled. The printing of the edition was managed by Alan Singer, with help from printers: Bernice Cross, Elizabeth Durand and Chas Davis.

David Row is currently teaching painting in the Graduate Program at the School of Visual Arts in New York.  Over the past fifteen years Row has lectured at numerous institutions including:  The Claremont University of Art; Bates College; The Cooper Union; Hunter college CUNY; Kent State University; Tyler School of Art; Yale School of art and Yale University.  Row has done printmaking projects and workshops including:  Echo Press, Galerie Lelong (Paris), Garner Tullis Workshop, Pace Editions and Tamarind Institute.

Notes on the etching "Arcadia" by Gregory Amenoff:

"I spent the summer of 2001 working in a studio on Cape Cod. All the images from that summer employed a foreground framing element (which I loosely imagine as a floral trellis) that set off a more distant and abstract landscape space.  One of the paintings from that group "Trellis" (Grey Butte), was essentially tonal; I thought the structure would be good in a print.  I began this print soon after 9/11 in the studio floor I share with master printer and artist Mohammad O. Khalil.  Although the combination of soft and hard forms remained similar to the forms in the painting from which they are drawn, the color and atmosphere became a critical element in this print.

"As in much of the work over the past four years, I hope this print sets up a metaphorical space for an emotional condition akin to feeling of longing - being in one space and yearning for the peace and release of another.  Hence the title: "Arcadia" a space beyond all our reach."

Gregory Amenoff is a painter and printmaker who lives in New York City and New Mexico. Amenoff has been a professor of art at Columbia in New York City since 1994.  He has also taught at The School of Visual Arts in New York, and Rhode Island School of Design, Yale School of Art and others.
