Gallery Talk

Shaye Remba, director of Mixografia, leads participants through an exercise of close looking of Hermes by Helen Frankenthaler. Remba helped Frankenthaler create this large-scale, three-dimensional print in 1989 using a unique process developed at Mixografia. Remba will have a number of print samples that participants will be able to handle in order to better understand this unusual technique and Frankenthaler's approach to it.
