Paula Scher MAPS

TAG is pleased to offer limited editioned screen prints by the critically acclaimed designer and fine artist Paula Scher to coincide with MAPS on view at Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery, NYC. An American artist and prizewinning graphic designer, Scher is a longstanding partner of the international design consultancy Pentagram. Her maps belie a different side to her creative talents. Dense, vibrantly colourful and displaying a wealth of wordy detail culled data from international media headlines, commercial maps and diagrams, they conjure up a powerful sense of place that manages to suggest both popular opinion and personal significance.  Scher’s hand-pulled screenprints are beautiful renditions of her original painted maps, made in collaboration with Andy Warhol’s master printer Alexander Heinrici.
Available MAPs from TAG include: Africa, China, Europe, and India. For further information click here
