Master printer Tallulah Terryll applies glaze to ceramic tests for an upcoming public installation project in the New York City subway system by Chuck Close
Even during the renovation and construction of our new gallery space, the staff at Magnolia has been hard at work on ceramics, tapestries, prints on aluminum, laser-cut woodblock prints, and acrylic prints on calcium carbonate with artists like Squeak Carnwath, Chuck Close, Hung Liu, John Buck, and Kiki Smith.
Here are a few choice shots of artists, staff, and artworks from the studio this month:
