Kennedy Yanko’s presentation of four unique handmade paper works at Pace Prints in New York will close on Friday, August 28. The exhibition, titled ‘Kennedy Yanko,’ has been on view since July 24 in Gallery 4 at the gallery’s 536 West 22nd Street location.
Organized as a summer presentation, the exhibition focuses on Yanko’s use of handmade paper as a medium for exploring movement and color. Pace Prints describes the works as part of the artist’s continued investigation of paper as a means of expression through the movement of the body and a sustained devotion to color.
The presentation is limited to four new works, each described by the gallery as unique rather than editioned. The available source material does not provide individual titles, dimensions, materials beyond handmade paper, or images of the works, and no further details about their production or installation are specified.
Pace Prints operates as both a publisher and gallery of fine-art prints and artist editions, according to its public profile. Its 536 West 22nd Street site includes a main gallery and Gallery 4, with the Yanko presentation occupying the latter. The venue lists visitor hours for the final week as Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The Yanko presentation is running alongside ‘Spell It Out,’ a separate group exhibition in Pace Prints’ Main Gallery at the same address. That exhibition brings together editions, monoprints, collages and handmade paper works by a multi-generational group of artists, including John Chamberlain, Shepard Fairey, Robert Gober, Friedrich Kunath, Spencer Lewis, Jake Longstreth, Erik Parker, Kiki Smith, Adam Pendleton, John Loring, Elliott Hundley, Peter Saul, Jenny Holzer, Nina Chanel Abney, Jane Hammond, Christopher Wool, Julian Schnabel and Pat Phillips. ‘Spell It Out’ also closes August 28.
After the summer exhibitions end, Pace Prints has listed ‘Gamaliel Rodríguez: Lo grabado de lo vivido (What is etched from what has been lived)’ for September 10 through October 10 in the Main Gallery, with a reception scheduled for September 10 at 6 p.m. The gallery will be closed from August 29 through September 7 while it prepares for its fall season, and is scheduled to reopen with regular hours on September 8. ‘Kennedy Yanko’ remains on view through August 28 at 536 West 22nd Street, New York.
