Carroll Dunham has been exploring lithography continuously since the mid-1980s, when he was first invited to work at Universal Limited Art Editions. This print is the last piece of a years-long investigation encapsulated in the book Green Period., recently published by JRP Editions. The investigation took the form of monotypes, drawings, paintings, and lithographs, of which this is both the most recent and final.
The subject is in part typical of Dunham's longtime interest in rendering simplified human heads from behind in three quarter view, a perspective as if looking “over the shoulder" of the figure. The loose geometric structures in which the character is embedded are spatially ambiguous while seeming to contain the activity of the protagonist.
This lithograph began with drawings made with watercolor in sandwiches of blotter paper. Once the medium is transferred between the sheets Dunham separated and reorganized these registered layers, which were then scanned and transferred to lithographic plates. After proofing, the resulting images became the basis for further hand work by the artist on layers of transparent mylar and aluminum plates. The printing process fuses these interlocking elements into a dense spatial matrix constructed of the thin sheets of ink characteristic of the lithographic surface.
Presentation
Born in 1949, Carroll Dunham lives and works in New York and Connecticut. Since the 1970s, he has developed a formal mastery of line, texture, and color to continually engage with new and recurring modes of art making, including painting, drawing, and prints. Drawing on the art historical canon as well as on pop culture, he revisits enduring themes that comprise our existence while simultaneously exploring the formal attributes of painting.
His most recent solo exhibitions include , National Museum, Oslo, 2023; and , Kunsthalle, Dusseldorf, and Sprengel Museum, Hannover, 2019–2020. His work has been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions at international institutions including Museum Ludwig, Cologne; Millesgården, Stockholm; Drammens Museum, Drammen; a mid-career retrospective was held at the New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York, in 2002. Dunham has also been included in notable group exhibitions including multiple Whitney Biennials and SITE Santa Fe; and at institutions including MAMCO, Geneva; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Museu Picasso, Barcelona; and The Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston.
