To create this project, aptly titled Notebook Drawings, Richard Serra referenced a series of drawings which he created in an intimate, pocket-sized notebook. Serra often spends time with his sculptures, drawing in order to reflect and re-think the completed work, and these prints suggest the form and radiating heat of massive solid steel sculptures as they emerge from the forging process.

This exhibition celebrates the centennial of Ellsworth Kelly, acclaimed painter, sculptor and masterful printmaker. Kelly began collaborating with the Los Angeles based print publisher Gemini G.E.L. in 1970, and in 44 years he created over 300 prints and editioned sculptures with Gemini. Through his work, Kelly taught his audience how to look, how to really look, to see things in daily existence that are often overlooked or unobserved — the shapes and colors of natural and manmade things that are a part of everyday life.

Gemini G.E.L. is pleased to announce the release of a series of six new works by Richard Serra titled “Casablanca.” Serra continues his close collaboration with Gemini Master Printer Xavier Fumat and his team, creating highly textured editioned works made with a mixture of hand-applied oil stick, etching ink and silica. Unsurprisingly, as Serra is known for pushing the limits of printmaking, the works are monumental: five of them are 6-feet in scale, and the sixth work is even larger, measuring 7-feet in width.

The Hatter’s tea party from Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland is the subject of Frank Gehry’s ten new prints editioned and published by Gemini G.E.L. Previewed for a few weeks in February 2022 at Gehry’s iconic Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles, the ten prints accompanied an installation of Gehry’s immersive installation of brilliantly-painted metal sculptures.
