Water: A Group Exhibition

September 9 - November 12, 2021

Crown Point Press presents a fall group exhibition, Water, with prints by Anne Appleby, Christopher Brown, April Gornik, Mary Heilmann, Alex Katz, Tom Marioni, Chris Ofili, Laura Owens, Markus Raetz, Ed Ruscha, Wilson Shieh, Pat Steir, Wayne Thiebaud, David True and John Zurier. Now more than ever, sustainability and conservation are in the forefront of the discussion about the environment and this involves water in all its forms. In California, we are in an extreme drought with wild fires as a consequence, while in other parts of the country there are unusual rainfall and weather patterns. Water is ubiquitous in our everyday lives, and it has been emphasized in art throughout millennia. Water connects us. The prints in this exhibition remind us of its beauty, omnipotence, and influence—each artist responds uniquely to the subject of water.
