GROUP SHOW

In 1964, The Paris Review began commissioning prints and posters by major contemporary artists, many of them friends of the magazine. Largely through the efforts of publisher Drue Heinz, who underwrote the series, and of Jane Wilson, who was chosen by Plimpton to direct the program, twenty-three inaugural artists were persuaded to donate signed and limited editions of original work. Among the initial contributors were Helen Frankenthaler, Ellsworth Kelly, Robert Motherwell, and Andy Warhol. Over the decades, the print series has grown to include the work of more than sixty artists and has garnered consistent critical acclaim. Each print is published in an edition of 60 to 200, most of them signed and numbered by the artist. All have been made especially and exclusively for the publication.

For the latest Viewing Room, David Zwirner Books is pleased to present a collection of works from The Paris Review print series. From the high contrast pigments of Carol Summers to the dark pictorial planes of Louise Nevelson, this Viewing Room includes a broad selection of highly coveted works.

This selection of prints is presented in conjunction with the publication’s annual fund-raising event, The Spring Revel, which celebrates the magazine’s writers and provides vital support to carry on the work of The Paris Review.

All proceeds from this Viewing Room’s sales will go directly to The Paris Review Foundation, a 501©(3) organisation.
