Indepth Arts News: "Michael Mazur: A Print Retrospective" 2000-11-11 until 2001-02-18 Rutgers University, Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum New Brunswick, NJ, USA United States of America
The impetus for this show was the Zimmerli's 1980 acquisition of more than 200 of Mazur's prints, monotypes, drawings,
pastels, and paintings, making it the largest public collection of his work. One of many traveling exhibitions organized by
the Zimmerli, Michael Mazur: A Print Retrospective opened at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston last spring, then went on
to the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Center for Visual Arts at Stanford University. After its three-month run at the Zimmerli,
through February 16, 2001, it will move again, this time to the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
Michael Mazur: A Print Retrospective covers a forty-year span of this distinguished artist's involvement with printmaking
and draws upon both his editioned work and the significant body of unique prints for which he is internationally
recognized. Throughout his career, Mazur has been a pioneer in printmaking processes, particularly the monotype medium.
A leader in the monoprint and monotype movement of the 1970s, Mazur consistently advocated breaking down barriers
separating various art-making processes and media, and his innovative techniques played a major role in bringing this
about. By experimenting with texture, printing on silk and multipaneled screens, and manipulating gigantic plates to create
monumentally-sized prints, Mazur led the way to a new kind of versatility and visual expression in printmaking.
Known for his elegant handling of line and tone, Mazur has explored numerous formats for works on paper throughout his
career. His work, which taps a variety of historical and stylistic sources, encompasses all printmaking techniques and has
established Mazur as a mark-maker par excellence. This critically-acclaimed retrospective of work created between 1956
and 1999 presents a full complement of the artist's skills, demonstrating his working process and image-development in
multipart pieces, serial images, and several major prints accompanied by preliminary states and proofs.
