The Print Center New York is currently exhibiting a retrospective of work from Parasol Press. Founded in 1970 by Robert Feldman, Parasol press introduced many of the artists that worked in either Conceptual Art, Minimalism, or print making. Much of the work on display has Mathematical roots.

One of my favorite installations is this 16 print series by Sol Lewitt, “Bands of Color in Four Directions & All Combinations” from 1971.

Here is a close up to get a better look at the parallel lines used to color each band.

The exhibit includes the work of numerous artists familiar to Math/Art enthusiasts including: Dorothea Rockbourne, Daniel Buren and Agnes Martin. The show is up till December 2026. If you are in NYC it is definitely worth a trip to Chelsea.
