Works on Paper by Acclaimed Artist Terry Winters to Be Featured at Schick Art Gallery

Sketchbook Pages and Tokyo Notes, an exhibition of works on paper by internationally acclaimed New York artist Terry Winters, will be featured in an exhibition at Skidmore's Schick Art Gallery April 13 through July 9.

Winters, familiar to the community as the artist who delivered Skidmore's fourth Malloy Visiting Artist Lecture in 1994, will return to campus to give an illustrated lecture at 6 p.m. Tuesday, April 25, in Gannett Auditorium, Palamountain Hall. A reception will immediately follow in the gallery. The exhibition, lecture and reception are free and open to the public.

Winters is known for paintings, drawings, and prints that are layers of interlocking networks of accumulated lines, forming webs and grids that have intrigued, challenged, and thrilled viewers for years. His first solo exhibit in New York was at the Sonnabend Gallery in 1982 and since then he has exhibited widely in the United States and abroad.

Among the many publications of his work is a recent book in which his prints from the preceding decade were placed in the context of his work in other media. Titled Terry Winters/Paintings, Drawings, Prints/1994-2004, the book was organized and circulated by the Addison Gallery of American Art and co-published by Yale University. It includes essays by Richard Schiff, Rachel Teagle, and Adam D. Weinberg, and its publication coincided with an exhibition of work by Winters at the Addison.

The Schick Art Gallery will showcase 12 rare Sketchbook Pages (graphite on paper) from 2002. These works, courtesy of the Matthew Marks Gallery in New York, have never been displayed. Also in the exhibition is the series Tokyo Notes, a portfolio of 11 lithographs including title page and colophon, that was published by Kido press in Tokyo last year and made available courtesy of the Colby College Museum of Art, where they are part of the permanent collection and were last exhibited. A catalogue with text by Francine Prose will accompany Skidmore exhibit.

Hours at the Schick Art Gallery are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the week and 1 to 4:30 p.m. weekends. Beginning May 20, the summer schedule will be in effect as follows: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. during the week and 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, closed Sunday. Admission is free.
