Description
A to Z, 2013 Screenprint 11 1/5 × 8 1/5 in 28.4 × 20.8 cm Edition of 25 variants Tamar Cohen is a New York-born and-based artist whose work resides at the intersection of high and low culture. She is inspired equally by the sublime and the banal; by Kurt Schwitters and Fred Flintstone; by polka dots and all shades of the color green. Recently Cohen has discovered a passion for vintage children’s textbooks, dictionaries and comics and she uses them to create silkscreened abstractions that according to the New York Times “stand out for their color and beauty.” For this edition, the artist has worked with 25 different pages of a vintage children’s dictionary. While each substrate varies, the printed pattern and colors are identical, resulting in an edition of unique prints.
