FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Reyes Press Published Artist’s Monograph
Lenore RS Lim Book Features
Anges Gund Foreword

PSCA is pleased to announce the publishing of a major artist’s monograph of the works of Filipina artist, Lenore RS Lim, whom the gallery represents. The 144 page hardback book features 73 illustrations; a foreword by Agnes Gund, an introduction by Paul Sharpe, and an impressive academic text on Ms. Lim’s work and the history of print making in the Philippines by scholar Ruben Defeo. An interview with the artist by Clint White completes the text. The book is available through the gallery in its new location in the West Chelsea arts district.

Agnes Gund, Chairperson Emerita of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, writes in her foreword, ”Ms. Lim enchants us with delicate, densely poetic images. Driven by curiosity and an unbounded love for her medium, she vigorously seeks out new techniques, while also striving to revive lost, traditional processes.”

The book encompasses more than a decade of work by the artist. During this time her career has grown internationally, having exhibited in several countries including Italy, where she was included in “Open 2002”. In December 2004, Lim received the Presidential Medal of Honor from the Philippine government for her outstanding contribution as an artist of national merit.

Lim is a print maker who explores the medium in all its facets, especially carborundum monoprints. She has exhibited at PSCA since its founding in 2001. She will be included in “Paper and Prints” a two-person show along with Gloria Garfinkel at PSCA this fall. The show will open October 4, with a public reception on October 6 from 6 to 9 PM. The exhibit will be on view through October 29th.
