So, this month I just started my new gig as curator managing Hurley featured artists and art projects.  I have the honor of putting the word out on this brand new link developed by the powers at Hurley on the new line of Robert Williams tees.  No, I didn’t write the copy, it came out of a Williams book.

Check it out and the video found on the site!

“The Waterhead Who was Raised in a Box,” an oft-discussed and questioned print from Robert Williams has just been released. Production on the incredibly ambitious 144 color serigraph began in 1992 and took a full two years to complete.  A testament to the craft of printmaking, the 30″ x 35″  print (ed. of 125) is  a product of the traditional techniques of hand-separating the colors and hand-pulling the paper — one color, one sheet at a time.  Printed by David Fick and produced by Ed Boswell and Jamie Beardsley, this may very well stand the test of time as one of the pinnacles of technical achievement for serigraph printing.  Giclee may be the defacto standard, but is certainly not the only game in town.

The print is available now through Jet Set Graffiti and Wal-art.  The prints will start s at $2000 / print and will increase $200 for every ten prints sold  up to the final price of $4400.

Robert Williams’s new body of work, “Conceptual Realism in the Service of the Hypothetical” includes paintings, prints and,  for the first time, sculptures. Known as an “artist’s artist,” Mr. Williams’ work travels from the underground comic world of the sixties, through the founding of the popular art magazine, Juxtapoz, to his current body of work exploring the next step into abstract thought. This show travels from Tony Shafrazi Gallery where it originated.
