T ogether with Park House, Sotheby’s is pleased to present a selling exhibition of works created in the studios of Mixografia, a Los Angeles based print publisher. The selection comprises editions produced in the past 20 years by well-known pioneering artists from the Pop-Art and Conceptual art movements such as John Baldessari, Ed Ruscha and Alex Israel, amongst others; each work representing the artist’s recognizable visual language within the context of Mixografia’s unique three-dimensional print making processes. For each of the artists in the show, print making is an integral part of their artistic output, an essential way to explore alternate media and push the boundaries of artistic expression.
For decades, Mixografia has distinguished itself as the publisher of complex works redefining the boundaries of the printmaking medium.The relationship between the publisher and the artist is a close collaboration which merges the artist’s creative vision with the publisher’s understanding of the printmaking process.
Originally established in 1968 as Taller de Gráphicain Mexico City by Luis Remba, and based in Los Angeles since the 1980s, the workshop quickly became known for utilizing customized techniques to create handmade, often sculptural, prints & multiples. Artists were suddenly empowered to add dimension, depth and detail to their work, creating editions that while different in aesthetic from one artist to the next, were unmistakably conceived with Mixografia.
Currently directed by Shaye Remba, the publisher attracts artists from all over the world, setting new standards in graphic arts, owing to their liberation from the strictly two-dimensional process of works on paper. Mixografia has exhibited in museum shows internationally and their publications hold prominent positions in the printmaking careers of important contemporary artists such as Ed Ruscha, John Baldessari and Tom Wesselmann.
Sotheby’s is proud to partner with Mixografia, offering access to its prints directly from the publisher.
