National Gallery of Art Launches Second Edition of the Gemini G.E.L. Online Catalogue Raisonné

A newly expanded version of the Gemini G.E.L. (Graphic Editions Limited) Online Catalogue Raisonné introduces 333 works produced by the acclaimed Los Angeles print and sculpture workshop between early 1997 and late 2005, as well as revised and expanded essays.

Since 1981, the National Gallery of Art has been home to the Gemini G.E.L. Archive, which represents an example of virtually every print and edition sculpture produced by this important workshop. The Gallery's holdings of Gemini works are a cornerstone of its contemporary graphic art collection.

Originally launched on the National Gallery's server in 2001 in order to present an ongoing record of Gemini's collaborations with important contemporary artists, the online catalogue now represents 2,069 editions, recording Gemini's creative activity from its 1966 inception through 2005.

Projects added in the recently expanded catalogue reflect nine productive Gemini years, representing a broad range of contemporary styles and movements—abstraction, conceptualism, expressionism, new figuration, surrealism, realism, and minimalism—and featuring editions by 14 contemporary artists who have extended their Gemini legacy. Ellsworth Kelly, Bruce Nauman, and Richard Serra are among those who were particularly active during this period, producing many new and exciting editions. And 11 artists joined the roster between 1997 and 2005: Kevin Appel, Ross Bleckner, Cecily Brown, Chris Burden, Frank Gehry, Allen Ginsberg, Robert Gober, Ann Hamilton, Toba Khedoori, Brice Marden, and Darryl Pottorf.
