Contemporary Collage: Paper's Many Forms

“Collage is the 20th Century’s greatest innovation.” ~Robert Motherwell

EMILY AMY GALLERY is pleased to present our fall exhibition, Contemporary Collage: Paper’s Many Forms, featuring gallery artists Paul Rousso and Cecil Touchon and first hand selections from the permanent collection of the International Museum of Collage, Assemblage and Construction. Selected works include collages and assemblages from fifteen countries as well as new pieces from invitational artists: Gary Bibb, Robert Mars, Joan Schulze, Caroline Waite. The artists featured are loosely associated by collage’s inadvertent conjuring of history. By utilizing recycled printed matter, both the distant and not-so-distant past are recalled with words, icons, fonts, and colors that could only be of a certain time. In their newfound form, these materials come to life and are forever immortalized by the artists who seek to revive them.

Exhibition Calendar: September 11 - October 12, 2009

Gary A. Bibb - Art in NYC

.The exhibit "A Book About Death" opened in NYC last night at the Emily Harvey Foundation Gallery to an overwhelming reception. Matthew Rose was the organizer/curator and host. A live webcast of the event revealed a capacity audience and an announcement was made that several hundred more people were outside waiting to enter. If only we had that amount of interest in all of our exhibits! A special thanks to everyone involved and to all who attended.

My 500 piece "Memento Mori" was a part of the exhibit. (See posting below from June 11, 2009 for more details.)

Addendum -

Number 264 is now archived in the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art - NY, NY. (MoMA)

Number 444 has become part of the permanent archived collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art - LA, CA. (LACMA)

A national radio interview about this exhibit was broadcast in late 2009. The curator, Matthew Rose discussed the concept of the exhibition and commented on my artwork.
