Markus Linnenbrink
Valley of Dolls and Mudhoney
Center Street Studio is pleased to announce a new series of monotypes by German artist Markus Linnenbrink. Entitled 'Valley of the Dolls' and 'Mudhoney (VOTD),' Linnenbrink employes a technique the Studio devised specifically for him where he manipulates viscosity of the inks and pressure on the press to produce images of astonishing complexity and richness. They are being offered at a special prepublication price until the end of June. Contact Director James Stroud for price information.
Richard Ryan
Bird 1
Richard Ryan's new woodcut for 2009 is 'Bird 1'. Equally impressive in scale as his 'nine black poppies' from 2008, it measures 53 x 40 inches (image) and is printed on a 60 x 43 inch sheet of natural Kozo paper.
The printing of the edition is complete. We are extending the pre-publication offer unti May 15. Please contact James Stroud, Director for further information.

Untitled
A Portfolio of Ten Etchings by George Whitman
Center Street Studio is pleased to announce the release of ‘Untitled,’ a portfolio of ten exquisitely drawn animal head etchings each printed with chine collé. Ten years in the making, this collection of prints represents Whitman’s first foray into etching. The extraordinary draftsmanship of his graphite drawings is evident in each of these prints, especially in the graphic ingenuity displayed in translation of surface texture and fur. Printed in editions of 20, image size is 11.74 x 14 inches, sheet size is 20.5 x 22.5 inches.
Natural Selection
A Portfolio of Ten Landscape Prints
Center Street Studio is also pleased to announce that the Lila and Joel Museum of Art at the University of Richmond will acquire the Center Street Studio archives this year. To help raise the needed funds, the museum produced this benefit portfolio in collaboration with Center Street Studio to offer to all donors of $10,000. The portfolios contain prints by artists who have either worked with master printer James Stroud in the past or have had exhibitions at the museum. The list of artists include: Anne Harris, Nell Blaine, Carolyn Harris, Bernard Chaet, Charles Ritchie, Tanja Softic’, James Stroud, Bill Thompson, John Walker and George Whitman.
