Studio photos: May 2013

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:
