Edition Announcement #87 - Amy Ross

Tuesday greetings, collectors. My away-for-July plan is working out fantastically well. Reports from NYC tell me that it's sticky, hot and humid there, exactly what I was hoping to avoid. At the moment, I'm sitting at Ritual Roasters in SF with a steaming cup of coffee, wearing a woolly wrap over my long sleeved shirt. Brr.

Today's edition Duck Magnolia, is the latest mad scientist creation to spring from from JB favorite Amy Ross's Boston laboratory studio. I showed several of these delicate compositions as part of Amy's solo exhibition last year, and they were also the stars of our booth at ScopeHamptons last Summer.

I'm sure that many of her rabid fans will agree that it's about time that we offered a magnolia edition from Ms. Ross. Manshroom was one of our very first 20x200 editions, and popular as it was, Amy's collectors have been clamoring for a magnolia print for months now. Ask and ye shall receive, sez I!

The painting that this print is based on is part of the Ornithology exhibition, which also includes one of her fantastic birdshrooms. You've still got a couple of weeks to catch the exhibition in person, but if you can't (or don't want to!) get yourself to NYC before then, the video tour of the exhibition, narrated by yours truly, is almost like being there.

And speaking of being there... where will you be tomorrow night? If you happen to be in the Bay Area, I'm hoping you'll stop by Crown Point Press to say hello. I'm hosting a 20x200 party there from 6pm-8pm and it looks like quite a few collectors are going to be in attendance. If you'll be so kind as to RSVP on Facebook or Upcoming.org, I'll see to it that there's a nicely chilled glass of wine awaiting your arrival.

With these festivities on the horizon, I've got wine stocking and frock shopping to do, but fear not: I'll also be squeezing in an announcement of another fantastic photography edition tomorrow morning. See you then!
