An invitation to present one’s work at the Venice Biennale is a pivotal moment in any artists’ career, whether established or aspiring. At the 1964 Biennale, Robert Rauschenberg was awarded the Grand Prize; the Biennale’s recognition of Rauschenberg, then 38 years old and still the youngest artist so-honored to date, has been credited with introducing Pop Art to the artistic canon. Shortly after receiving the award, Rauschenberg came to Los Angeles and published his first of many Gemini prints.
Julie Mehretu has created a second extraordinary, tour-de-force etching in collaboration with the Los Angeles-based artists’ workshop, Gemini G.E.L. Titled Myriads, Only By Dark, the monumental four-panel etching will be on view February 12 through March 28, 2015 at Gemini G.E.L. at Joni Moisant Weyl.
Gemini G.E.L. at Joni Moisant Weyl is pleased to present The News, an exhibition of six new screenprints created by John Baldessari and published by Gemini G.E.L., the Los Angeles-based artists’ workshop. Concurrently, a selection of previous editions will be exhibited in our project space, including prints from the series Eight Soups (2012), Foot and Stocking (2010), and Noses & Ears (2006).

Gemini G.E.L. at Joni Moisant Weyl is pleased to present a survey of Robert Rauschenberg’s stunningHoarfrost Editions. Printed and collaged on gossamer silk satin and chiffon, these eight multiples were published in 1974 by Gemini G.E.L., the Los Angeles-based artists’ workshop. Rarely presented as a complete series since their creation, this is the first time all eight have been exhibited together in our gallery.
