Richard Serra has once again pushed the boundaries of printmaking with his four new large-scale etchings printed and published by Gemini G.E.L. These four new prints will be on view at Gemini G.E.L. at Joni Moisant Weyl from April 2 to May 16, 2009, along with several examples of Serra's past print work from the Arc of the Curve (2005) and Paths and Edges (2007) series.
Ann Hamilton, perhaps best known for her large-scale and often site-specific installations, has continued her exploration of communication and sensory experience in her most recent project published by Gemini G.E.L. Her collaboration with the Los Angeles-based workshop produced a diverse body of new works, including three 3-dimensional objects and twenty-five prints, which Gemini G.E.L. at Joni Moisant Weyl will exhibit from February 12 through March 28, 2009.
A Tribute to Robert Rauschenberg is a survey exhibition divided into two parts. Part One: Prints, on view October 23 through December 6, 2008, highlights his print series, from the first Booster and 7 Studies (1967) through his last, the Marrakitch suite of 2000. Part Two: Objects, on view December 13, 2008 through February 7, 2009, focuses on works other than 2-dimensional prints, all created in collaboration with the Gemini G.E.L. workshop.

Shortly before his death in June 1980, Philip Guston collaborated with the renowned print studio, Gemini G.E.L., on a suite of twenty-five lithographs. These prints perfectly manifest the bold, figurative style of Guston's late work, which had sent shockwaves through the art world in 1970 as a radical departure from his trademark abstract expressionism.
Gemini G.E.L. at Joni Moisant Weyl is pleased to present an exhibition of the prints and ceramic multiples Ken Pricecreated at the Los Angeles artists' workshop, Gemini G.E.L , beginning with his first collaboration in 1970 to his latest in 2005. Known for his brightly-colored ceramic cups, bowls, biomorphic sculptures and drawings, the Gemini editions offer an exceptional indication of the breadth of Ken Price's career. The exhibition will feature a selection of screenprints as well as the artist's signature cups and more recent ceramic multiples.

New Lithographs
Ellsworth Kelly has developed a new interest—astronomy. Long-time friend Sidney Felsen purchased a telescope and presented it to the artist for his 84th birthday, celebrated at his home in Spencertown, New York. Perhaps that's what separates artists from the rest of us—a curiosity that continues to inspire, a willingness to explore, and a capacity to learn that doesn't diminish with age. Kelly's recent projects, created at Gemini G.E.L. in Los Angeles and known collectively as The Rivers, are the lithographic embodiment of this inquisitiveness.
One of the most versatile and influential contemporary artists, Bruce Nauman moves effortlessly between sculpture, video, film, sound installation, drawing, and printmaking. Since the 1960's, he has experimented with emerging technology, including video, holography, neon, infrared film, as well as a wide range of printmaking techniques. His two recent series published by the Los Angeles-based artists workshop, Gemini G.E.L., Soft Ground Etchings and Infrared Outtakes, find their source in early photographs taken on infrared film.
